Most elegant post WW-2 design ?

[Adrian]

Hunter for me, even an ex girlfriend of mine who hated aeroplanes (guess I know why the ex applies) said she understood why I like aeroplanes when she saw a model of one.

I'm concerned so many of you haven't yet taken your meds for today, because it can only be...

Sukhoi Su-27 for me. Classy, functional and an absolute brute-power performer at air-shows. A perfect blend of form and function. 

 

I managed to sit in the back-seat of one at Fairford a few years ago. Very, very cool, indeed.

To me, according to the era, this is the Hunter, the B-1 and finally the Rafale.

If it is an from the start of the jet age: definitely the Hunter (single seater)

 

If it is a modern one: Rafale (in particular the Marine version: Single seater with a more agressive look on ground due to its pitch angle compared to the C)

 

If it is an airliner: the king: Concorde, no discussion. Honorable mention for the A350.

Any type, military or civil, after WW-2.

For me it has to be Concorde.
