I agree that it looks weird, but I like the detail youโ€™ve put into it! Iโ€™m limited in votes, but once one closes, Iโ€™ll give it to you!

It looks like a mix of different aircrafts togetherโ€ฆ 737 cockpit, MD-80 body and T tail, CRJ wings, a320 engine and 777 rear. It looks โ€œmade in Chinaโ€โ€ฆ LoL

It looks like a DC-9 mated with an A320 and got its fathers body and mothers power plant.

That looks like a CRJ200 to me.

It kinda is, but chinese.

Looks like a DC-9-10 that has extra suicide jump doors in front of the running engine.

MD-80 + 2*CFM - Part of the Fuselage + 777 Rear -------> Comac ARJ21

This is what you get when you mix a Chemistry Fan with an AvGeek (no, I am not really a chemistry fan)
