Antonov A-40 of course
ugly
2 seaters look better, due of lacking(replaced) hump
De Havilland Dragon Rapide
dont even care that it couldnt ever be more than a low tier escord npc its beautiful
Wonderful 1930s airliner and truly gorgeous
TONKA
I just need to throw some love to the Gripen in here, both the E and the earlier versions look really good.
To be fair the Foxhound deserves a mention too
SPITFIRE
BEST
PLANE
The proportions of the F-22 just look perfect
Piaggio Avanti is one of the best looking civilian aircraft too
in game, within certain camera conditions (aperture, angle, background, etc) it looks like an otherworldly aquatic creature to me. yeah, moving onto the su-27 from the mig-29 was a massive jump back in 2024. additionally, I dislike every su-27 with canards because the overall shape is ruined.
as you can see, the nose gently flows towards the wings until a certain point. this creates a type of aesthetic only the Eiffel Tower matches (in fact, they look very similar) canards and the metal for their installation ruin this.
at least there is a benefit: su-33 and similar flankers remind me of covenant technology from Halo, for some reason.
lastly, I do not consider su-35 to be more beautiful than its father because its nose is shorter.
Yeah to be fair Eurofighter from any angle that isn’t front on might be the best thing ever to exist. Practical, Powerful, Purposeful and Predatory…
