The Sud Aviation SE 210 Caravelle is a French jet airliner produced by Sud Aviation. It was developed by SNCASE in the early 1950s, and made its maiden flight on May 27, 1955. It included some de Havilland designs and components developed for the de Havilland Comet. SNCASE merged into the larger Sud Aviation conglomerate before the aircraft entered revenue service on April 26, 1959, with Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS); 282 were built until production ended in 1972. It was ordered by airlines on every continent and operated until its retirement in 2005.
The Caravelle belongs to the first generation of passenger aircraft to use newly developed jet propulsion technology, and it was the first jet airliner developed specifically for the short/medium-range sector of the market. Early in the Caravelle's career, its chief competitors were propeller-driven aircraft, such as the British-built Vickers Viscount and the U.S.-built Convair CV-440. Reportedly, the Caravelle proved to be a highly reliable airliner during its early years of service. The low accident rate for the type led to lower than average insurance premiums for Caravelle operators.

@NAFASIRO Who cares? Your offended over people's builds and you can't generally cope and try to focus on your own builds. Next time fix yourself and try to be more polite, looking forward to people's builds. Don't flex on people just because you think you are better, try being balanced and think your build, and other people's builds are good.
@NAFASIRO you say it like im only saying because this is a high quality build, bro is platinum and had 800 followers there's more people within direct reach of him posting, try coping harder
@NAFASIRO
You can’t say ‘no offense’ and then try to flex superiority of your builds…
@NAFASIRO bro had 800 followers and posted few high quality builds, of course he's gonna have 43 upvotes in a few days
@NAFASIRO More points, more followers, more popularity. Basically more skill
Also inuyasha chooses quality over quantity unlike you
Totally nostalgic this was one of the first planes I ever downloaded as a potato user....
@ZacOnTrack Thai Airways had a joint venture with SAS in the 1960's, which is why the liveries look similar.
Good job m8!
..also I am the only one who thought for a sec I was looking at a SAS SE-210, idk the liveries of the time look similar
I love that plane with triangular windows. I only noticed this is the only plane with such windows. Nice build
I miss those nostalgic livery...
Huh. I didn’t even know you were working on this. Nice.
