The biggest difference they have from most other cells is that they have no nucleus, they also have to mitochondrion. Another big difference that is so obvious it is often unnoticed, they are free floating in the plasma. Almost all other cells are bound to neighbours by cell junctions but RBCs are free to move around.

First of all, red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, lack nuclei. Moreover, they lack cilia. Also, they have a biconcave surface.

Ciliated cells are usually cuboidal or columnar and contain nuclei as well as cilia.

No, red blood cells float around through the bloodstream. Therefore, cilia/flagella is not needed or would be considered useless.

A red blood cell does not have a nucleus it needs the extra space for haemoglobin. A red blood cell needs to carry oxygen around the body.
