Convair 240

The Convair 240 is a twin-engine propeller airplane developed in the late 1940s for regional airline service. Known for its reliability, it has a streamlined fuselage and is designed to carry around 40-48 passengers over short to medium distances. The aircraft features modern (for its time) pressurized cabins, allowing passengers to fly comfortably at higher altitudes. Its durable construction made it popular among airlines in the mid-20th century, serving as a reliable workhorse for domestic flights before being replaced by jets in later years.
