For people who thought the Stiletto was too sane...
FletcherCommaIrwin@reddit
One of the weirdest, indeed. Currently, my vote is for Solar Impulse 2, caught it yesterday and again just now.

Supersonic silent snoot. Very sharp, yet boopable.
Ivebeenfurthereven@reddit
As I understand it the sonic boom won't be silent - more drawn out into a gentle thump rather than a sudden crack
Can't wait to hear it
Annual-Advisor-7916@reddit
Is it even possible to reduce the area under the curve for a given aircraft surface?
Inspi@reddit
First plane with a "crumple zone"?
abcdodd@reddit
They remind me of most swept deltas of the 50s.
yoweigh@reddit
Yeah, it's like a Delta Dagger with a long nose that sneezed and farted out canards.
Foreign_Implement897@reddit
You don’t know anything about the weirdest wings, as you did not know about F-117 40 years ago!
Ivebeenfurthereven@reddit
TIL
404-skill_not_found@reddit
I dunno. It is exemplary. Weird? Maybe not so much.
HeftyElk7592@reddit
There are fish shaped like this, and they are weird compared to other fish. It weird.
Rooilia@reddit
...beacuse they are fish, this is plane, it would be weird if it was fish shaped.
HeftyElk7592@reddit
That's fair. It was a weird analogy anyways.
Potted_Cactus_is_me@reddit
Rooilia@reddit
Not the fish i thought of, but yeah that counts.
404-skill_not_found@reddit
Well, technically you are correct. I hear that’s the best kind of correct.
randylush@reddit
It is exemplary of weird
Zcube73@reddit
Reminds me of the time when the X-3 Stiletto was being tested
KnifeKnut@reddit
Spiritual successor.
numahu@reddit
Feeeeeshh@reddit
Looks like a missile with wings strapped to it
Spiritual_Tip_500@reddit
Tall drink
Otaraka@reddit
It looks like a modern SHADO interceptor.
Trekintosh@reddit
But does the snoot droop?
WarthogOsl@reddit
It does not need to droop to look down its nose at you. That's how snooty it is.
Kapitan_eXtreme@reddit
You can't fool me, that's a lawn dart
