Either the Blackbird or the Raptor if youre American.

Most Canadians would probably say the Arrow and then bitch at the Americans about it being canceled.

The Supermarine Spitfire. Its pilots saved the world from fascism in 1940 (along with the Hawker Hurricane, but the latter, however unfairly, never seems to get as much glory).

My top 3:
-Concorde (that nose)
- B52 Bomber
- F14 (thanks Top Gun)

I think B52 is top dog only because it's recognizable from a top down silhouette, which is pretty "iconic"

The Spitfire looked cooler.

For sheer unmatched ambition . . .

B-2 Stealth bomber. It's an iconic shape and the only operational long range oridance penetrating air vehicle in the world capable of what it does.

There are probably more iconic aircraft, but when I was a child I loved the blackbird, it was kind of a myth, then one day I actually saw one take off as my family was out driving and I freaked out, so it holds a special place for me.

The Vulcan is pretty nice.

But the overall most iconic are probably the Red Baron's triplane model and the Camel, the spitfire and zero (the B-29 too due to what it is most famous for), and the F-14 and F-15 (and frankly the B-52 because that thing is not going away until human civilization ends, and may persist even afterward).

Indeed, its a space ship that is able to just barely manage to glide well enough to not crash. The training regiment for landing them was literally to take up a trainer, and then land it while the engines were in reverse thrust, so as to emulate the aerodynamic qualities of the shuttle.

On a somewhat similar note, if we ever make it as a species to the point where we're fighting battles on other planets, I guarantee that the Browning M2 will be part of those battles.

The Fokker DR. I.
It probably is the most iconic aircraft in its own right.

I couldn't name any other commercial aircraft off the top of my head besides the Boeing 747 tbh.

The B-21 would replace the B-52, but perhaps only after the 2040s or '50s. And at that point it would be outdated in its own right.

I agree. The B-2 is the first that comes to mind for me.

Fittingly, the B-52 will not be replaced until after the B-21 has already replaced the B-1A and the B-2 solely due to cost.

In the UK, it's got to be the Spitfire. Ask any Brit and 9/10 that's what they'll say. Although, somewhat unfairly the Hurricane gets overlooked.

The truly iconic ones are those that even people with no knowledge of or interest in aircraft recognise. So a few of the ones mentioned (Spitfire, 747, B-52, Concorde) definitely qualify. Maybe the A-10 as well.

Popular culture also knows some others by informal names, like stealth bomber (usually the B-2) and space shuttle (I dont know its actual name, someone else enlighten me) as well.
