Sexiest aircraft

[Killbat]

I'm sure this has been posted before, but it's been a while at least and another thread got me started on the idea.

What are some wicked aircraft that y'all know of? Please provide some linkage (with pictures! )

Ahma throw my vote in for the "Aurora".
Mach 6? Yes please!

[Demon-Xanth]

The X-3 has my vote. If it had more powerful engines (ie: ones that met the spec) it would've been one hell of a ride.

 

[pulpp]

yea i seen a discovery special about the aurora, very intresting.

 

[SSP]

I'd say the Apache (Can be any aircraft right?).

AH-64 Apache Longbow

Or the F22 Raptor


But I think overall, the SR-71 blackbird still looks awesome!

Wee wee

 

[Killbat]

"AH-64 Apache Longbow"

OMG, LOL. I crack up every time I see a picture of that thing in flight. Do you think there's really a helicopter under all those weapons?

 

[WombatWoman]

I vote for the A-12 Avenger II (also known as "The Flying Dorito".)

 

[glenn1]

my vote is in for the AC-130 Specter ("Spooky&quot link

Aptly knicknamed "the angel of death".

 

[Pretender]

aircrafts are shaped like dicks. Are you sure 'sexiest' is the word you were looking for?

 

[ratkil]

Another vote for the "Blackbird"

 

[JellyBaby]

<< my vote is in for the AC-130 Specter (&quot;Spooky&quot link >>

Yes, that bird is &quot;hung&quot; (double hung if you count both the howitzer and smaller 40mm cannon). Kindof kinky I reckon.

 

[snakesnfrogs]

the French Rafale B


or the US B-1B

 

[ElFenix]

am i the only one who thinks that the x-30 &quot;national aerospace plane&quot; and project aurora are very similar?

 

[Pocatello]

I think the Spitfires of the 40s were and still the prettiest. The Su-27 and its later cousins are pretty nice too.

 

[JohnnyKnoxville]

Sexiest?

Why the P-51 Mustang of course.
P-51 Mustang
P-51 Merlin engine

 

[damocles]

Spitfire XIV

 

[Farbio]

i guess i'm the only one so far w/ a love of navy jets, but i'm all for the f-14 tomcat

 

[C'DaleRider]

The P-38 Lightning and the Northrop Flying Wing, XB-35.

 

[Crabapple]

I like em big and bulky:
Airbus Transport

 

[Pacfanweb]

My personal all-time favorite, the best fighter/bomber of WWII

 

[kami]

The beautiful and powerful A-10 Warthog of course

What I like most is it's gun...the 30mm General Electric GAU-80 Gatling Cannon.
It can rip a tank apart like paper.


Bullets anyone?
In the hanger
Flying in the mountains
Another flying shot
Bigass rounds
damn that looks MEAN
Explosive tipped rounds - the aftermath
the gun firing
sketch of &quot;the gun&quot;
Putting &quot;the gun&quot; into perspective!


info on gun:
-Seven barrels
-4,200 rounds per minute (10/sec max per barrel)
-77 horsepower motor is needed to power the gun

ammo:
-High explosive incendiary (HEI), Armor piercing incendiary (API), and Target practice rounds (TP)
-TP rounds carry a 1.5 POUND steel slug, muzzle velocity is 3400 feet/sec
-API rounds can pierce up to 4 inches of heavy armor plating and muzzle velocity is 3200 feet/sec
-HEI's explode on impact and are used to start fires or destroy light armored vehicles, 3300 feet/sec


ok, now tell me that's not the coolest plane on earth?!
