Ugliest Planes Ever to Take Flight" is all about some really odd-looking planes that have flown in the sky. From the Boeing X-32, which looks kind of funny like a bird or a character from a movie, to the British Aerospace Nimrod AEW3 with big radar dishes that make it look strange, this story shows off planes that might not win any beauty contests.
Learn about the Aero Spacelines Pregnant Guppy, a plane that got its name because it looks like a big, swollen fish. It was really important for carrying big parts of other planes. Then there's the Northrop Tacit Blue, called "the whale" or "the filing cabinet" because of how it looks, but it was a big deal for hiding from radars.
See other planes too, like the Ilyushin Il-40, the Edgley Optica with its big, bug eyes, and the Messerschmitt Me P1109, a plane that was so out there, it never got built.

The Northrop Tacit Blue approach to stealth was to make it so ugly that everyone just looked away.

We were on project Tacit Blue, aka Orca. Tacit Blue was only a demonstrator. There are many different systems being tested here. One is the radar cross section of curved surfaces. It did do it's job.

Gloster Meteor was not really ugly - at least not the early ones. The Britten-Norman Trilander is a fantastic aircraft, just like the Islander.

A lot of the aircraft featured were one off conversions of an existing design done to fulfill a specific purpose. Such aircraft will inevitably be aesthetically unpleasing, odd looking or ugly. But just because they do not meet your definition of being aesthetic does not mean the aircraft should be derided, as you do. If an aircraft efficiently does what it was designed or converted for, why does it need to be aesthetically pleasing? It does not!!

IL-40 looks like something from Star Wars.

There is more to Tacit Vlue than hurting the eye. It was a stealth demonstrator using (not flat, but) curved lines. If you look closely, you see technical similarities with the Northrop B2.

Since some prop driven aircraft were featured, why was the Blohm & Voss BV141 omitted? A weird asymmetrical aircraft that, surprisingly, possessed very good flying characteristics, but looked as if its designers were abusing some weapons grade recreational pharmaceuticals ...

In an unofficial trial vs the E-3 The Nimrod AEW detected only 30% of the targets detected but the e-3. Date entry was slow, periodically the operators had to be told “Hands up” stop entering data, the computer needed to catch up, shoddy engineering to produce another all British failure.
