“The best aircraft award goes to the aircraft flying now we do not know anything about.”
The Best Aircraft award goes to the 737.
‘Best’ is not a linear scale. Comparing F-16s and F-15 and A-10, etc are largely apples and oranges. We have a diverse mix of missions and requirements.
Possibly the Aurora, I suppose. But when you consider the SR-71 was produced in the ‘50’s, it’s a feat unequaled by any other bird.
