Caravelle
The french Caravelle was the first
airliner with engines located at the rear fuselage. A total of 282 was produced
between 1955 and 1973. The versions 1, 3 and 6 had Rolls-Royce engines, later
versions were equipped with Pratt&Whitney turbines.
For the modelplane the P&W
versions were chosen. The large wing of this elegant airliner provides a low
wing loading, so take off and landing speeds are low. As the vertical tail is
small sized a gyro should be installed on rudder to maintain yaw control in
case of an engine failure.
