Short 360
The Short 360 stretched the Short 330 into a larger regional airliner while retaining its square fuselage and high wing. A revised nose and tail made it look less abrupt than the 330, but its boxy cabin remained its defining feature. It carried regional passengers and cargo before modern turboprops replaced it.

Short replaced the 330's twin tail fins with a single swept fin on the 360, the easiest way to tell the two apart.
