So, what would you consider the worst possible (but still mildly plausible) name for a combat aircraft.
There have been a few Lightnings (P38, Arado 234, Macchi 205), a few unique classics (Spitfire, Flying Fortress, Störtebecker, Rigorous Sword), and some embarrasing efforts from the marketing department (Lightning II? Ugh!) but has there ever been - or could there ever be - something as awful as the Ford Edsel? It was named for Henry Ford's son, but respondents to a survey felt it was more likely to be the name of a plough or a tractor.
The best I can think of is this. A state of the art fighter loaded with the name of Peashooter.
