i decided that, like many of the best presentations, my banger from last night required a visual aid

What is the worst plane ever. Just the most absolute garbage plane you can think of. What is it like

the first time I saw this aircraft was in a youtube video of someone playing War Thunder. I fell in hatred with it instantly.

Either I hate canard design aircraft, or I hate push planes, both of which feature the engines mounted in the back, as opposed to the front. I hate its stupid little wings on its note and I hate the propeller just sticking out its ass and I hate its fucking squat.

Now, the J7W Shinden (seen above) never saw combat, or production, and was only ever in the prototype stages, and it is entirely obscure and not well-known but still I hate it. I can't even remember if it was fucking armed.

Update: it was supposed to carry four thirty-millimeter cannons. Fucking where? It would have exploded itself. This is hubris. I hate this airplane. Zero respect.

Apparently it was meant for a Jet Engine which would have marginally spared it from my wrath. Now it lives in the Smithsonian which I suppose is fine.

Actually, War Thunder was my first introduction to airplanes, really, but it is an extremely flawed game I don't recommend playing.

bingge learned precisely one (1) good thing from shen jiu, and that is that all women are queens

... unfortunately, instead of taking this in any kind of philosophical direction, he went with "i should marry them all so they have the correct title"

So I've been thinking about web published serialized fiction with daily updates that are both lowbrow and with great attempts at deeper artistic merit that may or may not hit those artistic beats because art is subjective and

PIDW is that universe's Homestuck, innit?

Theoretically, can airplanes be high enough in the sky, where someone on the ground, could, for example, claim it to be a shooting star, and if said individual made a wish on the aforementioned plane, would it be acceptable to take that as a valid wish request for a wish, if they really needed it, despite the object they wished upon wasn't a shooting far, but in fact, a plane? Jokes aside, what's the most complicatedly designed plane?

I FEEL LIKE THE THE SR71 BLACKBIRD OR PERHAPS THE CONCORD WOULD BE GOOD CANDIDATES FOR THE FORMER. ALSO, I THINK YOU CAN AND SHOULD MAKE WISHES ON AIRPLANES, BECAUSE THEY ARE SUCH EPHEMERAL PRESENCES IN THE SKY. YES I HAVE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY WALKWAYS TO TRACK AIRPLANES ACROSS THE SKY. I AM A NUISANCE.

THERE ARE MANY COMPLEX AIRCRAFT DESIGNS. EACH NEW AIRFRAME HAS ITS OWN CHALLENGES. I DON'T KNOW A WHOLE LOT REGARDING THAT, BUT... THE SIMPLER THE BETTER, YOU KNOW?

AS FOR COMPLEX AIRCRAFT DESIGNS, THERE ARE A LOT AND I'M NOT VERY WELL-VERSED IN THEM. THEY TEND NOT TO PERFORM WELL AND DON'T SURVIVE VERY LONG IN PRODUCTION. THE CONCORD AND SR71 ARE BOTH LIKE THAT, I THINK.

ACCORDING TO A VERY BRIEF GOOGLE SEARCH, THE U-2 SPY PLANE IS THE MOST DIFFICULT AIRCRAFT TO FLY.

SHE IS, HOWEVER, BEAUTIFUL.

Okay, whats your least favorite plane, and what's the fruitiest.

Least favorite plane answered, and my favorite plane...

The F4F Wildcat!!!! Many lows and highs exist for this airplane, including a floatplane configuration they called the Wildcatfish.

There's so much about this plane that I love. The history, the design, the name, all of it.

She served for the full breadth of the war, first as a frontliner and then on escort carriers.

Fun fact: the F6F Hellcat was called the Superwildcat for a brief time while they tried to figure out a name for it.

The British praised this aircraft highly. It's a fucking good plane.

Or this:

The P39 Airacobra. An aircraft built around a 30mm cannon running through the nose-- you can just see the barrel. Intended as a high altitude interceptor, was turned into a ground attacker after some questionable design changes. If I remember right, the Russians liked this plane a lot.

P39s were present in the Pacific War as well as the F4F Wildcat.
