Is the A-380 the BUTT ugliest aircraft or what?

[Cannikin]

Looks like a pregnant fish to me..

[xultar]

1. Looks like a BIG OLE PENIS with wings to me...NIZE!!! n/t

:evilgrin:

[indy_azcat]

4. no, that looks more like this

[salinen]

2. Can hold up to 800 passengers!

That pregnant fish has capacity.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. But they won't be allowed to carry those 800 passengers

(at least under US regs) unless they can demonstrate that all 800 can be evacuated within 90 seconds, using only half the exits. Ya think they can do it? Will passengers be willing to launch their asses onto the slides from the upper deck? Stay tuned!

[Beaverhausen]

16. Just boarding and deplaning will suck on that monster

what is the point anyway?

can you imagine how long it takes to get all the baggage off of it?

[slackmaster]

3. Maybe you're too young to remember the Super Guppy

Talk about a pregnant fish.



Whoops! Wrong plane. That was a standard guppy. Try this one.

[Kellanved]

7. Maybe you're too old to know the Airbus Super Transporter

:evilgrin: ;-)





Although I do have to agree: the old one doesn't look any nicer.

[Bok_Tukalo]

21. I love the Beluga

It really messes with your head.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. The Super Transporter SO reminds me of

[Cannikin]

5. I always thought it was the 757 that was going for the penis shape

:P

[Kellanved]

8. and Airbus wins again:

:evilgrin:

[Cannikin]

9. Uh oh. an A vs B thread is developing

[donheld]

33. My airplane can beat up your airplane

[name not needed]

11. Smoother my ass!

I guess that doesn't apply to takeoffs and landings!

[phusion]

12. LONGER, LARGER, SMOOTHER!

:rofl:

Sounds like an ad for penis enlargement.

[miss_kitty]

26. "Longer and larger..."

Yeah, right-how many times have i heard THAT?

:evilgrin:

[Rick Myers]

6. It's the ULTRA Guppy!!!

And what Brainiac named the company AirBus??? Why not "Flyin' Greyhound?'

That turd got the record for HEAVIEST aircraft to fly today, if I'm not mistaken...

[HEyHEY]

10. You yanks are just jealous! 777 ain't the big boy now

Personally though I would never fly in something that large..it's too big to fly.

[Danmel]

27. Where doyou get these polar bear pics?

They always make me smile!

[HEyHEY]

34. the net

they're out there

[CO Liberal]

13. I Did a Google Search on "Ugly Plane" and Found This

Source: http://www.tooltrip.com/

[slackmaster]

14. That is a scraper, not a plane (or is it?)

Plane blades ("irons") cut by shaving the wood. These are planes:



Actually this source refers to it as a "scraper plane":

[Taxloss]

17. What, you jealous we Yurrpans have leapt ahead in aircraft tech?

For the first time since Concorde, at that. That machine might not be pretty, but it's a fine machine, and it's the future.

[LilKim]

24. The future, Conan?

[Taxloss]

25. I'll believe it when I see it fly.

Like the big beauty we got off the ground today.

[Kellanved]

36. The 787 is an A330 copycat

The novelty of it is Boeing using technology that has been common for Airbuses for decades.
A simple updated version of the A330, would achieve specs very similar to those promised by Boeing for the 787 (which is - as of now - still vaporware)

[Elidor]

18. (Almost) all airplanes are beautiful

Wonderful things of functional beauty. I love the A-380.

Especially first-class:


The only airplanes that are less than beautiful in my eyes are those that rain bombs and bullets from the skies.

[barackmyworld]

23. why are the screens so far away from the chairs?

that does not make sense

[Elidor]

28. The chairs move

In fact, if you look close, the space between the screen and the chair's farthest position accomodates a sleeping area. It's damned cool. And the chairs all pivot, apparently. Very swank.

[Bok_Tukalo]

19. Some things are so ugly they are beautiful

"Pregnant fish"

[Cannikin]

20. Not at all. I love the A-330, but the new one isnt attractive to me

I'm sure it will grow on me

[Redstone]

29. It's as ugly as the 787 is pretty.

That 787 is one graceful design.

[liberalpragmatist]

30. Unfortunately, not anymore

Turns out this was the concept design:


Now, they've finalized the design. Nothing wrong, it's fine, but much more conventional. Not nearly as striking:

[Endangered Specie]

31. It does not look like it can fly, thats for sure.

[Dave Reynolds]

32. I remember a term from somewhere,

regarding a plane. BUFF - Big Ugly Fat Fucker

[Kenneth ken]

35. what.

I don't think it's the BUTT ugliest aircraft, so I voted what.

Besides, I always vote what when it's an option. :D
