    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.

    Historical Routes and Space Research

    This unique category will please both fans of classic airlines and collectors of military and scientific specials. You can enrich your collection with iconic civil machines in the colors of traditional European carriers Finnair and Iberia, the American legend Trans World Airlines, or the Venezuelan company Avensa. Fascinating modifications for special missions are also represented. Military history is represented by the C-131F Samaritan transport version bearing the insignia of the American US NAVY, while scientific research is proudly represented by a jet aircraft in the service of the NASA space agency.
