The Caspian Sea Monster....

Or, pretty much any of the Soviet ekranoplans would take the prize.

Bristol freighter
Fairey Rotodyne
both as ugly as ugly gets. Argosy would round out for 3rd place, Stratocrusers definitely in the list too.

I may be crazy for saying this but i actually find the Cessna Citation X very ugly compared to others in its class. and the A380 is definitely up there too, don't know what they were thinking over in the design department!

Probably not too concerned with looks and more with functionality and getting it to fly. You have to admit it's a marvel regardless of its looks.

And Grahame that is definately one ugly beast.

Isn't that normally based at in Seattle at the Boeing Field... A converted 757?

I'm sure I saw it there in August when we were at the Museum of Flight, it was near the new RAAF Wedgetails.

Looks like somebody was trying to create a faux Concorde from a 757

I think it's best described as a 757 with facial reconstruction surgery that went wrong!!
