The Sud Aviation SE 210 Caravelle was the world's first short/medium-range jet airliner, produced by the French Sud Aviation firm. Its maiden flight occurred in 1955 when the company was known as SNCASE. The Caravelle was one of the most successful European first-generation jetliners, selling throughout Europe and even penetrating the United States market, with an order for 20 from United Airlines. The Caravelle established the aft-mounted engine, clean-wing design that has since been used on a wide variety of aircraft.

Cool! @aircroft
There's one of these at my nearest aviation museum next to the mig 21
Yay! Replicas
And if any is wondering I used the nose of my Comet for this build.
They were (and still are) good planes @ForzaFanlvl4
Yeah, I've always liked that plane. @ForzaFanlvl4
Ok I will! I'm planning to make a MD-80 here soon. @ForzaFanlvl4
Thanks! That was fast! @ForzaFanlvl4
