History

The Convair 880, a product of Convair, a division of General Dynamics Corporation, emerged in the late 1950s as a competitor in the swiftly evolving commercial aviation landscape. Boasting a sleek design and propelled by four potent General Electric CJ805-3 turbojet engines, the Convair 880 soared with impressive speeds, reaching approximately 615 mph (990 km/h). Its cabin accommodated around 88 to 110 passengers, offering a comfortable and efficient travel experience. Despite its commendable performance, the Convair 880 faced tough competition from industry giants like Boeing and Douglas. Production ceased in 1962, yet its legacy as a pioneering high-speed airliner remains significant in the annals of aviation history.
