May I remind you that it was the americans who built the first "ugly sucker" that could supposingly carry 750 persons?
It was in 1947, called the "spruce goose", which had a wingspan of 97,2m (versus 79,8m A380) and a wing area of 1061mē (versus 845mē A380)
But in my opinion both airplanes look nice in their specific way.
