Not likely.  There's not enough of them and according to the link below, 
they are considered 'normal'

And I quoteth from http://users.skynet.be/nestofdragons/weird_04.htm

"There were also other low aspect ratios than those of Lee Richard, C.L. 
Snyder and Charles Zimmerman. For instance: deltas and biplanes are low 
aspect ratios. Example: the small Dyke Delta JD-2 has a aspect ratio of 
2,7. But because they are regarded as normal, they are not weird enough 
to be placed in my site."

To weird for most.  To normal for nearly everyone else.  Sometimes you 
can't win for losing.
