The idea for this list came from Transformers Movie which included many close-ups of F-22. The two fighters (F-22 & Su-27) have always been among my favorite aircrafts, but now the list is complemented. There are many reasons why I chose the below mentioned models and I can justify my picks if someone demands. For now: they are beautiful examples of state of the art design.
1. F-22 Raptor
4. B-2 Spirit
Ofcourse these are the most revolutionary designs in the contemporary world of military aircrafts. You would be surprised if I tell you that B-2 Spirit is based on a captured German design that hails back to 1940’s when Luftwaffe inspired by Jet engines already had produced jet aircraft.
Nice choices. As an aviation buff, particularly with regard to commercial airliners, I’m happy you selected the 787 Dreamliner. I can’t wait to see it for real.
Re: Silkworms comment. The B-2 was based on Jack Northrops Flyinf Wing designs.
The Germans were working in paraell but did not influence anything Northrop designed or made.
I see this German reference to US flying wing development and it is wrong. The German program was theirs,ours were ours. Each independent of each other. Period.
