I'm more a big fan of some of NASA's experimental aircraft...
Specifically the X-29, for it's radical approach to try for higher angles of attack and maneuvarability. And come on, moveable canards and a forward swept wing? Bad ass.

And talking about Jets, Ramjet and Scramjet engines are just freaking cool to think about. The force of air at supersonic speeds is enough compression, no actual fan blades needed, in fact no moving parts...at all. Pimp. Currently holds the "public" record for air-fed winged aircraft at Mach 9.6, 6800MPH!!!
