It should be pointed out that this hideous, ridiculous abortion is *not* a Lockheed design.

I think we've found a milestone halfway between Colani and Stavatti in terms of ridiculous curves. Of course, this is Daily Fail we're getting this from, so yeah :

 

[Stargazer]

Looks too ugly to be for real, sure... but then, why pretend it's from Lockheed and even add a Lockheed logo to it? The Daily Mail has never been a champion of truth, but faking stuff, especially on a subject like this, I can't see the point...

This is from britisch designer William Brown

At the very least William Brown shouldn't have used the Boeing naming scheme of using the Strato- prefix. If he wanted to imagine a Lockheed Martin airliner, he should have had Star somewhere in the name.

Could be the start for a legal dispute Brown vs. Colani indeed.
And please no re-posting in the " ..... bio-design" thread !

Not to worry... "Bio" means "like life", and to me this weird thing doesn't look anywhere near anything from real life!!!

For a start, it needs jockey-wheels under those wing-tips...

It needs to be taken behind the barn and shot.
