Information
The French-built Sud Aviation (later Aérospatiale) SE-210 Caravelle was the first short-range jet airliner. Its rear mounted engines provided improved wing perfomance and lower cabin noise than its contemporaries. 282 Caravelles were built, and used widely by European Airlines for over 3 decades.
