SE210
The Sud Aviation SE 210 Caravelle is a short- to medium-range twin-engine commercial jetliner developed in France by Sud Aviation. The Caravelle entered service in 1959 and was the first jetliner to feature rear-mounted engines, a configuration that reduced cabin noise and provided a cleaner wing design. Powered by two Rolls-Royce Avon or Pratt & Whitney JT8D turbojet engines mounted at the rear of the fuselage, the Caravelle had a seating capacity of up to 99 passengers and a range of approximately 1,200 nautical miles. The aircraft was a significant commercial and technological achievement for the European aerospace industry and was operated by numerous airlines in Europe, the Americas, Africa, and the Middle East. Air France and Scandinavian Airlines were among the earliest and most enthusiastic operators. The Caravelle's groundbreaking rear-engine design influenced an entire generation of subsequent jetliner designs, including the Douglas DC-9, Boeing 727, and BAC One-Eleven. Although production ended in 1972, the Caravelle left an enduring legacy as a pioneer in jet airliner engineering.
