JETLINER
The Avro C102 Jetliner was a prototype medium-range
jet airliner
built by Avro Canada in 1949. It first flew in August 1949, 13 days
after the De Havilland Comet, thereby becoming
the second jet
passenger transport in the world.
The aircraft was considered
suitable for busy routes along the US
eastern seaboard and attracted some US interest, notably from
Howard Hughes who even offered to start production under
license. However military production took precedence and
continued delays in Avro's all-weather interceptor project, the
Avro CF-100, led to an order to stop working
on the project in 1951.
The prototype Jetliner
was later cut up for scrap with the nose
kept for display in the Canadian National Aviation Museum.
This CD contains the
flight manual for the C102 Jetliner, plus a nice
original company brochure and a technical specification document.
The CD has been copied from the original flight manuals
