>>1622295>how did we get so blandGiven certain constraints and goal functions, things tend to converge on the most efficient design. I think modern air liners look pretty good. You just think they look bland because they all look the same.
>Why is it an older plane looks better than modern onesJudging from OP, they don't. The Stratocruiser looks dumb as fuck. With some rhinoplasty and liposuction (fix the nose and get rid of the gut) it would look good but bland. Like an instathot.
