Well, the SP looks to me like a plane that was driven into a wall, simply too short, another plane with the same problem is the A318.

Anyway beautiful: G550, ugly: BBJ (and i still love the 737, but its an ugly plane).

Jet doesn't mean anything since most aircrafts are now fitted with turbofans...
The Italian thing might be ugly, it's still one of the most efficient existing designs. When the "jet" version will show up numbers will speak for themselves.

I like bizjets, for me there are no really ugly ones, some are just not as good looking as the others...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder....




But this one, like all Falcons, is really gorgeous IMO

These look better just sitting on the ground than anything built since.
Noise restrictions be damned, I say!!

The eye of the beholder...

Most Gorgeous Jet ---the one I am currently flying.

Ugliest jet ---anyone I am NOT currently flying.

Must say though, the 7X probably looks nice one airborne, but on the ground, it certainly looks ungainly.

I agree on Falcon 50. What about the Lear 45? If too long for some-one's liking, try the Lear 40 for size and proportions.

It's like what is the best car? One that is parked in my garage and fully paid for...

Just showing my age but I have always thought the Falcon 100 was the sexiest thing in the air.

Ugly Jet: Any bizjet in the new NJE paint scheme......

Gorgeous Jet: Most bizjets NOT in the new NJE paint scheme.......

Why did Norman Foster design his scheme to look like the aircraft are bank robbers???

Maybe this was his tongue-in-cheek laugh at how much money NJE paid him?????

Controversial??? Moi???

Falcon 10 is a real beauty. I believe Dassault still operate one, but completely refitted with glass cockpit. Shame they don't still build them.

Ugliest ever for me is the Citation Bravo. I'm also in the camp that thinks Gulfstreams are ugly.

Try googling for "JetPod" before insulting one of "my" aeroplanes But we won't see many of those because the inventor perished together with the prototype.
what next is online now
