B-29, one of the coolest looking WWII bombers.

Though it is hard to get any better than this couple. Venezuela and (possibly) Turkey are the only countries I know where destiny's whims may allow for such an improbable combination.

I know I'm late to the party, but:

And if we were strict, since we are in the "Modern Military Aircraft" section, the most beautiful (IMO) among the jets in production today:

Dassault Rafale, the French mistress you dream about even though you can't afford her :D

Didn't think so, at least when I first saw it. Looked boxy to me from some angles. But it grows on you, doesn't it? It's not as mean looking as an F-14, not as pointed as a Mig-25. But from certain viewpoints it looks downright nasty, like directly from behind, head on and when it turns aggressively. I will say this: The production F-22 is MILES better looking than the prototype. Yikes. The production version's clipped wings, re-designed horizontal stabs and slightly smaller vertical stabilizers all look SO much better, along with moving the cockpit further forward.

I do think the SU-57 is up there in the looks department too. Just a shame that the back half of it isn't as good as the first half, aesthetically at least...

The FraudFlanker is indeed a pretty girl, but is exactly like those beauties with awesome face, sexy belly and a way too big bootie...and short legs (small tail fins).

F35C sorta grew on me, i think im a sucker for fifth gen ladies.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder

viper does not even come close , does not even look like a fighter

I would say f101 supermarine scimitar f102 tu128 f4K etc

Don't even need a photo. The F-86 is the most graceful and "prettiest" in flight. Hands Down.

I have recently become interested in the Su-57 (design index T-50, NATO codification: Felon). Quite an interesting model.
