You can make a jet out of anything. Here's a Beech Mentor made into a jet!

If it is weird, it is British. If it is ugly, it is French. If it is weird AND ugly, it is Russian.
This one is ugly. Sud-Ouest SO-6000 Triton.
French.
Weird AND ugly below. Yak-23.
Russian.

The above quote, "If it is weird, it is British. If it is ugly, it is French. If it is weird AND ugly, it is Russian." is not mine. I've read that MANY places. It is meant for humor, but does not take into account the realities of aviation design. All designers can turn our beautiful, weird, and / or ugly airplanes.
It leaves out the U.S.A. (among others), which has had it own share of beautiful, weird, and / or ugly airplanes. Here is one both weird and ugly. McDonnell XF-85 Goblin.
Here is a very recent, very ugly one. Boeing X-32.
So, nobody who designs a less-than-beautiful aircraft is out there on their own.
I'm pretty sure we've all seen this one, too. Transavia PL-12 AirTruk.
Not even a mother could love it ... unless she REALLY needed to spray crops. Even then, it would likely be more of tacit acceptance of inability to change it rather than love.

Adorable like the ugly Duchess?
She had a face that would make a train want to take a dirt road on a rainy night. When she was little, they had to tie a roast beef to her to get the dog to play with her. When she was born, the doctor took one look at her and slapped her mother.

It sort of deteriorated, but started out as a pic of a jet mentor.

To give the British, French, and Russians their due, here are three of their better-looking efforts:
1) British: Hawker Hunter.
2) French: Dassault Mirage F1.
3) Russians: Sukhoi Su-35.
Different generations, but all of the above are very nice examples of "it looks right, so it flies right." Oh ... maybe just my opinion. Yours may vary.
Cheers!

F-1 not that great, Dassault Mirage F1

I had NO IDEA someone could ever cross-breed a Smart Car and a Cessna. The things you can do with gene manipulation, these days!

Anyone remember the Quadractor? Cross that with a B2 and this is what you get.
