10 Most Amazing Airplanes Of The World

Check out the list of the most exotic looking aircraft of all times.

10. Beechcraft Model 17 Staggerwing

This American biplane first flew in 1932. It had an atypical negative wing stagger. It may be timeworn but beautiful none the less.

9. Gee Bee Model R Super Sportster

Made by the Granville Brothers Aircraft of Springfield, the Gee Bee was a special purpose racing aircraft.

8. Boomerang

The aviation legend Burt Rutan designed the Model 202 Boomerang as a part of his collection of innovative home-build experimental airplanes. The purpose of the craft was to increase performance, efficiency, and safety compared to other general aviation aircraft available. This two-engine asymmetrical aircraft looks like no other of its kind.

7. Supermarine Spitfire

This British single-seat fighter aircraft was one of the most outstanding fighter aircraft of WW II used by the Royal Air Force and many other Allied countries.

6. De Havilland DH103 Hornet

The fastest British twin piston engine fighter De Havilland first flew in 1944, right about the end of WW II.

5. F-22 Raptor

Developed for the US Air Force, defining air dominance, the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is a fifth-generation, single-seat, twin-engine, all-weather stealth tactical fighter aircraft.

4. The Northop B-2 Spirit

This Stealth Bomber is an American heavy penetration strategic bomber, featuring low observable stealth technology designed for penetrating dense anti-aircraft.

3. The F-117 Nighthawk

Operated by the United States Air Force, this single-seat, twin-engine stealth attack aircraft developed by Lockheed’s secretive Skunk Works division is a true sight of beauty.

2. The Avro Vulcan

Operated by the Royal Air Force for nearly three decades, the Avro Vulcan was a jet-powered tailless delta wing high altitude strategic bomber. This one, without a doubt, is one of the most beautiful aircraft ever made.

1. The Blackbird

The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird indeed deserves to be at the top of the list. The SR-71 was an advanced, long-range strategic aircraft developed as a black project in the 1960s. It holds the world record for the fastest air-breathing manned aircraft.
