CONVAIR CV880
& CV990

Developed by Convair as a competitior to the Boeing 707
and Douglas DC-8 series aircraft, the Convair 880 and 990
series of aircraft never attained the success of the earlier
two aircraft and in fact resulted in the biggest commercial
loss in US corporate history at that time.
Convair designed the aircraft for less passengers and
higher speed but the five-abreast cabin had poor payload,
less passenger appeal and limited airline options.
Only 48 of the CV880's, intended for domestic use, were
built. The CV990 was a higher capacity higher performance
version intended for international use but only 31 were
eventually produced.
We offer a CD for each aircraft with the manufacturers
