Always loved the Macchi. Italian seaplane still holds the speed record it set in 1934.
Xavier Flores
front is horrible, side is diamonds
Christian Gray
thats a no from me.

Always a place in my heart for the lanc

This is what I'm fucking talking about!
Ian Adams
beautiful lines, looks like the spit could have taken inspiration from this
Aaron Thompson

Ethan Ross

Anthony Kelly
Trivially fascinating but maybe not beautiful! :)
Ayden Martinez
Things engineers do just to prove a point.
>I bet I can put wings on a plane backwards and make it fly.
Connor Davis
...
Daniel Jones
Yes hehe, but actually forward facing wings actualy induce lift at slower speeds, look at some ww2 BV jet bombers, they were some of the first to utilize this feature to make use of shorter runways. that x29 is fucking rad tho
Jaxson Wilson
'Aluminium Falcon' Thats so cool, even painted the melenium falcon on it lmao
Josiah Rogers

Robert Miller
this is a shuttle
Bentley Taylor
Because it didn't bring anything new to the table that was strictly useful for space travel.
The Russians were able to fly unmanned missions with the soyuz since forever and they still use the damn thing because it's super reliable.
The shuttle weights a lot, can carry too little payload compared to other spacecrafts and puts the lives of 7 people at risk with basically no feasible abort procedures in case something went wrong during launch.
The whole reusability logic didn't really apply because refurbishing the thing for the next launch cost way more than expected, to the point that it wasn't more economical than a conventional rocket launch.
It was a glorified manned fairing with a terrible killing ratio, it was meant more for military purposes that were never needed and was basically responsible for stopping technological progress in space travel for a few decades because they were able to sell the concept to pretty much everyone who wanted to send something to a space station.
It failed at pretty much everything it tried to achieve.
It's an engineering marvel, mind you, and I find it gorgeous, but it was not what space travel needed at the time. Rocket launchers ended up being cheaper, safer and able to being launched with a higher frequency. SpaceX is trying to revolutionise space travel again with reusable rockets that could potentially cut costs a lot if done right.
Only time will tell.
William Brown
Sorry but most beautifull plane today.
French aesthethics cant be match.
Kevin Scott
I know it's the buran but it looks pretty much identical and it made me think again about the whole shuttle program
Jose White

Yep that was the Buran; Russia's shuttle knock-off
This is a Shuttle.
