He's one ugly bastard.

Where I come from we call it the ERNST number. Late nineteenth, early twentieth century Austria and Germany produced a crazy number of influential scientists. Of that group Mach conducted important experimental work in compressible flow.

Must have been the picture the A380 designer had in his cubicle to come up with such an ugly, disporportionate bird.... (apologies to Herr Professor Doktor Mach)
