Inspired by the DC-9-10, Boeing 737-100 and the Airbus A318 as shortness:3

The B-23 Dogspit was a low bypass turbofan jet plane. It has it’s first flight in 15/September/1943. After the September 11 Attacks, the costs of the low bypass turbofan which was the Pratt and Whitney JT8D was unfortunately too high, so Boeing added CFM56 engines. Also it was originally owned by MacDonnell Douglas. In 1980, Boeing stole and owned it and it is still owned by Boeing forever. In 1954, a B-23 Dogspit collided with a Douglas DC-3. The 1 pilot on the Dogspit died instantly. The DC-3’s under chassis was heavily damaged. However, the DC-3 landed with none of the 13 occupants injured.

This build is the CFM56 re-engined version.
