Best Looking Single Prop Aircraft?

[Silvaire]

It ain't but with those big honkin' wheel spats it sure LOOKS fast!!

 

[Skylane81E]

Spitfire or mustang, take your pick.

Both available as scaled EAB versions for your buying convenience!

Here ya go.. I must say, the spartan executive is the best looking.

Touche`

 

[wabower]

Epics aren't bad for current crop of new offerings.

 

[tangopapa]

I'm going assume you bi-wing guys are, ummm, older

I love the Staggerwing!!
I'm not old. At least... I don't feel old. I'm 31.

 

[Bill]

Spartan Executive and Staggerwing are the top two, no doubt. Cessna 190/195 might be third.

 

[yakdriver]

The MK.IX Spitfire has the most elegant lines of any airplane. Looks right from any angle. Don

 

[whifferdill]

Duh.

^ Hey I have one of those....

I have to agree with Dave. Surprised no one else picked the Lancair Legacy.

Although the Spitfire and Staggerwing are certainly a close 2nd and 3rd.

Like a fine wine there are some things that never go out of style.

What about tri-wings

 

[bluee]

It's my dream machine!


That has got to be one of the most hideous things I have ever seen.

You really can't beat the looks of that aircraft.

I would so cruise that thing!!

What is better, pretty or functional?

Square tips? How dare you post that in this thread!

 

[douglas393]

I do not know about the rest of you, but I think mine is the best looking, but then again I am biased, but I still make sure she knows it everytime we fly. Now when I sell it and get something else then my something else will be best looking.:wink2:

 

[pbramlett]

Best looking single prop aircraft? That's an easy one. The Globe Swift, running away...

That is a sharp looking aircraft!

 

[SteveR]

Unfortunately, it's no longer with us

I was about to post the same thing. I'm having some poster sized pictures of this printed to hang in my office at home.

 

[Clark1961]

What is it?

Bennett Airtruck (had to look it up since the engine was not as expected)

 

[bluee]

Something different.
A prop strike is unlikely in this.

I helped Andy build that plane (a little), he won best homebuilt at OSH last year. His fixed gear Legacy was a nice flyer, I bet the RG with the big engine goes like stink.

Unless it strikes your noggin!!!

 

[tmyers]

Oh, and Matt, that's a purtifull airplane, do you have that on backorder?

 

[Jeff Oslick]

That has got to be one of the most hideous things I have ever seen.

Looks like the offspring of a Vogon spaceship.

No… just have better taste

If you've ever seen one taxi around an airport… you will notice that everything and everyone comes to a stop to watch it go by.

I've never seen another aircraft do it like a stagger wing beach does

There are other aircraft mentioned here that are certainly beauties, but I don't think they carry the same mystique

 

[hindsight2020]

The one I can afford, indeed...

Hint: Look underneath the fuselage between the wings.


Hey, nobody said the prop had to propel the airplane!

Probably one of the best planes to have a gear-up landing in

Ummm... I guess it depends on whether you think a good looking airplane should emulate a sexy woman, or a Kirby vacuum cleaner.

 

[Meliss]

P-51 Mustang. Period.

Agreed.
