The B2 Spirit is another jaw droping aircraft. If you can see it coming that is.

spitfire
sr71
and the jury is still out on the last, but harrier is a strong contender (i use to live near dunsfold aerodrome where topgear is now filmed where they
used to make them, they flew over the fields behind our house when out on their test runs  )

Number 1 for me would have to be the Sukhoi Su35. possibly the best handling jet fighter in the world.
Its a variant on the su27 mentioned earlier.

My three are:
Lancaster Bomber (i'm a little biased on that one though)
Joint Strike fighter, when it appears
Tornado, especially the GR4, for just being the most useful fighter/aircraft/reconnaissance plane ever!

But the mummy of them all must be Speedbird:

Problem with Dief was he was a wuss and he let the Yanks push him around.
The decision to scuttle the project bankrupted Avro, scattered the huge team of scientists and engineers across the globe and effectively turned
Canada from a minor world power into a lapdog militarily and industrially. In terms of technical innovation we may as well be the 52nd state.
The Arrow was 20+ years better than anything else flying, we would have sold it globally (as to be perfectly honest -- we had limited need for it
ourselves) and built a huge aerospace inustry around it.
