The Short 360 is a twin-engined regional airliner for up to 39 passengers produced by the British manufacturer Short Brothers plc. The Short 360 is approved under the designation SD3-60.
The Short 360 is a stretched development of the Short 330, itself a development of the S.C.7 Skyvan. The military versions C-23B+ and C-23C Sherpa, operated by the US-Army, are modified by replacement of the single-fin tail section with the twin-fin tail section including the cargo ramp of the Short 330.
