British Airways Olympics 'dove plane' unveiled!

[Energize]

So mediocre, like everything else about the London Olympics.

It looks like they did put quite a bit of effort into it, judging by the time-lapse video. Can't say I'm a fan of the design though, as someone said, it really is a missed opportunity.

2nd judgement.

From above its like... Hmm ok, different, but really other than that press shot who is ever going to see an aeroplane in plan view?

 

[toasteh]

i agree with whoever said it looks like it flew through a literal ****storm

Perhaps the Muslims with ray guns will hijack it and do a flyover of the stadium?


That design process video was funny as hell:

Artist - "So why can't we have another colour FFS ?"

BA jobsworth - "because it won't have passed any corrosion tests "

Artist - "grits teeth, I really admire BA's integrity..."


ha ha, I bet you do

weaksauce I think the dove idea is nice but the implementation is pretty weak and as said underwhelming

I like the design Pleasant change IMO.
