Caravelle Fever

[Herman]

To me,with its sleek aerodynamic Comet nose, and mid placement of the horizontal stabilizer, the Sud Aviation Caravelle represents one of the most esthetically pleasing jetliners ever produced. Here are few of my favorite images.


















At Chicago O'Hare United AL Terminal


On the downwind leg for an approach to Jose Maria Cordova near Medellin, Colombia. Correct altimeter settings are very important when flying in this area, especially so when under IFR conditions. ;D ;D

SACRE BLEU .... c'est tres jollie images Herman !

Herman .... in his commentary .... makes a significant point which not many folk realise !

The CARAVELLE used the entire front section from the COMET. Sud Aviation bought rights to use it from De Havilland .... after the COMET 1 disasters and whilst its future was still undecided.

The CARAVELLE also introduced a number of firsts to civil aviation too .... among which included it becomming the first rear-engined jetliner, and the first to feature an exit underneath the rear/tail of the aircraft .... and which was later incorporated into the B727, and some DC9 models.

QUITE AN AIRCRAFT.... and one which, thanks to AFG .... and friends, flies so beautifully within FS.

TRY IT .... YOU'LL LIKE IT ! .... as i'm sure Herman will agree !

Merci beaucoup...muchas gracias, Mark.

Yes indeed, the AFG Caravelles' fly and handle beautifully. The AFG team have done a wonderfull job as well as all the people responsible for the development of the panels and textures.

I have quite a few more liveries to go through and looking forward to it.

CARAVELLEMEXICAN11 .... nice photo .... but do please .... watch your image size in future.

We normally excercise a maximum preferred 800X600 image size here.

If you will reduce your image size .... then that will be appreciated !

Other than that .... I guess that MEXICAN A/F -10 is just "begging to get painted" for FS .... and .... if he's interested .... then I think I know just the very person do do it too ;D

No promises !

We'll see what happens !

Sorry Mark for putting the bigger picture, the thing that I found this photo in a forum FSMEX, who want a Caravelle 10 aircraft repainting of the Caravelle 10 or A/F-10. and this picture was photographed in Morelos - Mexico . I hope to tell to Esa and Ari. I Can't Wait Of the model of the Caravelle 10, and you say to Eduardo Villanueva of The Repaint of Caravelle Mexican Airforce

and you say to Eduardo Villanueva of The Repaint of Caravelle Mexican Airforce

I can only "SUGGEST" it to him.

It's important that our painters remain free to select whatever appeals to them .... first and foremost of course

Great pictures on a great model ;D

Further regarding that MEXICAN AIR FORCE CARAVELLE 10 proposition ....

I haven't yet looked-up that aircrafts vital statistics (I'm just a bit too busy at the moment) .... but .... if this aircraft is a CARAVELLE 10R then a repaint of it could "could" be considered now.

However .... if it is a CARAVELLE 10B .... then it will likely have to wait until the -10B models are finished and become available.

As applies to most aircraft .... there's no such thing as a standard CARAVELLE 10.

There's CARAVELLE 10R and CARAVELLE 10B.... and "both" are quite different !

"CARAVELLEMEXICAN11" .... puedo ayudarnos con las detallas especificas acerca el clase de este aeronave ?

Gracias !

"SI CLARO" .... eso es como el intension futuro !

Aca los informaciones recientes del senor Esa KAIHLANEN ....

Thank you guys!

Yes, Caravelle 12 is on its way. That and the combi-configured 11R model are mostly complete, but need to be updated to bring them up to the same standard where 10R is. While working on the 10R I have learned few things and I need to apply them to the rest of the models, too. Below are a few shots of the models as they look right now.

Here is the 10B3, or "Super Caravelle" as it is often called. The 3D model is ready apart from few small corrections.




The Caravelle 11R is a stretched version of the 10R and comes with a cargo door as well as APU.


Caravelle 12 was the last and biggest Caravelle made, with considerably longer fuselage than the 10B3.

Por supuesto ..... necesito mucho mas trabajo este proyecto. No tienemos nosotros una fecha de estreno cuales concreta !
