The Convair 880 is a narrow-body jet airliner that was produced by Convair in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Designed for short to medium-haul flights, it could accommodate around 80 to 100 passengers. The aircraft was known for its speed and efficiency, making it a popular choice for airlines during its operational years. First flown in 1959, the Convair 880 featured a sleek design and advanced technology for its time, including a low-wing configuration and turbojet engines. Despite its innovative features, production ended in 1963 due to competition from other aircraft, such as the Boeing 727.
