Nice photo gallery. Which one has your vote for the weirdest looking plane? Mine is the tailless X-36.

I have to go with the Douglas X-3. I love that they nick’ed it The Stiletto :)
X-3 was certainly a very striking looking airplane, but not a terribly successful one. She wasn’t even supersonic in level flight.
Aggie, I fell in love with that plane as a wee lad; IIRC, I had the (roughly) 1/48 Lindbergh model. Very kewl. But -as brad says- not such a hot ride. :-/
Well, the question was to pick the weirdest, not the prettiest :)
Sorry, my vote goes to the X-32, loser in the JSF fly-off. Ugly from end to end.
Not that the F-35 is doing much better….
I’ve got to go with the
A-wingX-24 or the X-29 (I had the GI Joe version growing up)
