Speed Records and Aerodynamic Carrots

From a technological standpoint, Convair models represent an amazing journey across aviation epochs. While older piston machines like the CV-340 or CV-440 excelled in extreme robustness, the later CV-990 jet model pushed the boundaries of what was possible. This machine was designed for maximum performance and became one of the fastest subsonic commercial airliners in the world at the time. To help the aircraft overcome strong aerodynamic drag at high speeds, designers placed special spindle-shaped bodies on the trailing edge of its wings, which are affectionately known in aviation jargon as Küchemann carrots.
