The Ugliest Airplanes That Actually Fly

By miller22 | January 11, 2008

It’s one thing to design an ugly airplane, but its an entirely different thing to design one that actually flies. Here are some of the ugliest airplanes ever created…and flown.

Delanne Duo-Mono

This one was actually a French design commandeered by the Germans. The cockpit is actually the back of the airplane, which made 6 o’clock shots rather painful.

With a fuselage that seemed to be disconnected from the wings, the Heyford looked like it was about to fall apart…which it did.

    It's really amazing how man has progressed from these ill-looking machines to the contemporary spy planes. Some of the planes look more like boats, but then again, they double up as one, so it's just fitting to have such an appearance.
