Rear-Mounted Engines and a Pioneer of Silence

From a technological standpoint, this brand holds one massive world first. Its most famous aircraft, the Caravelle, became the very first commercial jet airliner in the world to have its engines mounted on the rear fuselage. This revolutionary solution brought two major advantages. The wing remained aerodynamically completely clean, which vastly improved flight characteristics, and above all, cabin noise for passengers was radically reduced. Traveling thus became unprecedentedly comfortable, and this innovative rear-engine concept was subsequently copied by manufacturers worldwide.

A Silver Edition and Famous Global Carriers

This category is a true feast for the eyes of every lover of aviation elegance. You can enrich your collection with beautifully crafted models in the colors of traditional carriers from around the world, such as the European airlines Finnair and LTU, the American giant United Airlines, the Asian Indian Airlines, or the South American company LAN. A special pearl for demanding collectors is the historical Silver edition from 1955 by Atlas Models, which commemorates the very beginnings of the development of this beautiful French machine.
