Poll: Vote In The ~100 Seat, Wing-Mounted Twinjet Beauty Pageant

 There’s been a shift in the basic design philosophy for regional jet aircraft in the last few years, most everything in the approximately 100 seat market is set up as a twinjet with the engines mounted on the wings.  You can kinda thank the Boeing 737 for getting that all started back in mid 60’s.

 But today we have at least 5 contenders in the ~100 seat twinjet market, with all of them looking remarkably similar.  No doubt there are some noticeable differences tho, and that’s exactly what this non-scientific poll is all about: looks.  So please take a moment to look over the shapes presented here and then cast your vote for the one you think looks the best overall.  We’re not talking efficiency, affordability or even availability here, just pure skin deep beauty : )
