Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet
One of the smallest bizjets is this very light jet developed by Cirrus. It can be recognised easily by its short “fat” fuselage, butterfly tail and jet engine on top of the fuselage, in between the V-tail.

These small amphibian aircraft have a piston engine on a pylon high above the fuselage. It powers a pusher propeller. The wings through the middle of the fuselage have a significant dihedral. Near the tips are narrow stabilising floats.
You can best describe this as a DC-9/MD-80 clone as they bear a large resemblance. The easiest way to recognise the ARJ21 is by its small winglets and engines with separate fan exhausts, and the landing gear legs and doors.
This Chinese jetliner has a large resemblance with the A220/A320 and the Irkut MC-21. It has four cockpit windows, a pointed tail cone and slightly bent up wing tips.
This single engine turboprop looks somewhat like a TBM with a Swearingen Merlin tail and large winglets. The large five bladed prop and especially the two large exhausts make it stand out from the Ae270 and TBM series.
What makes the composite Comp Air 9 different from other aircraft is the fixed landing gear, optionally with streamlined pods around the wheels. Furthermore it has high wings without struts, a normal tail and a single turboprop engine in the nose.
The Catalina is one of the most well-known flying boats/amphibian airplanes in the world, with its large parasol wings and rounded cruciform tail. Most versions are pure flying boats, some are amphibian.
Less a success than the Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8 the Convair 880/990 is much rarer than its competitors. It can be recognised by the absence of the air intakes under the nose (compared to DC-8) and antenna on top of the vertical stabiliser (compared to Boeing 707 family). Moreover, it has a triangular last cockpit window.
This supersonisch bomber has large delta wings and four engines in long nacelles at pylons under the wings. Also typical are the long, eight wheel main landing gears which retract rearward.
The Convair F-102 Delta Daggers have the same basic configuration as the Dassault Mirages, but are easily distinguished by the nearly triangular vertical stabiliser and the narrow oval shaped air intakes below the canopy, with an external plate in front to slow the supersonic air flow.
