The F-22 Raptor is the most beautiful machine mankind has ever created

Love the look of the SR-71, but because of Top Gun the F-14 will probably always be my favorite.

What's the retail on one of those?

[BenMcLeodNZ]

Too curvy, it's feminine. This is peak aesthetics and used 1940's tech.

More than you can afford pal.

I'd hope with the amount of wasted money on it

LM makes some beautiful aircraft, which is surprisingly somewhat of a factor when it comes to the next generation of aircraft being chosen.

Boeing's JSF entry was HUGELY unpopular with the Air Force as it was extremely ugly. Ultimately it lost out to LM's F-35 for a myriad of other reasons, but being hideous didn't do it any favors.

Money wasted on the F-22? How do you figure that?

The only waste with the F-22 was not making more and phasing out all the means for fabricating more. We'd love to make more, but the start-up costs would be horrendous.

A propeller powered air plane can take that pos down.

Jesus that is the ugliest plane I've ever seen.

A lot of people asked this question as well.

Lol it looks like a fish to me. A giant guppy.

I like russia better

Sure it could. A pigeon could also take it down if it hit one mid-flight. Now WOULD a propeller based aircraft ever take one down? For a million reasons besides crashing midflight, no.



Here's a juxtaposition of the X-32 vs the X-35. Fighter pilots are vain and definitely do care about how their aircraft looks, so it's not surprising that the 35 was more popular (again, there were legitimate technical reasons as to why the 35 was chosen over the 32)

comeon bro this just looks beta. look at those lame ass tail fins

Saw original pic.....said to myself "WFT?!" As I literally lowered and protruded out the lower part of my jaw and inhaled largely while making a dumb face. lulz

Sukhoi makes very pretty aircraft as well. The SU-57 is no exception but unfortunately was a bit of a flop.

This has the GOAT sound, but not sure about it being good looking

LOOOOOL looks like the F-22 on FrogTech.

[MN88]

I don’t know if beautiful is the right word but I do know that no other air craft is as astounding and awesome as the stealth bomber.

[Dalovsky]

Angle looks bad, while flying the Sukhoi su-57 looks better in my opinion.
But i also really like the f22 design, reminds me of a sci-fi space plane.

The Lunar Lander. The most beautiful arrangement of card board and tin foil known to man.

[OffwhiteBrah]

F-14 Tomcat has always been my favorite, fight me

[leafs43]

The US military still haven't been able to effectively replace it in almost 50 years.
