MIAMI – Today in Aviation, the Convair CV-240, the first pressurized, twin-engined airliner, took to the skies for the first time in 1947. The type was a revised design that had a longer but thinner fuselage than the Model 110, accommodating 40 passengers. The American airliner was produced by Convair from 1947 to 1954 as a potential replacement for the widely used Douglas DC-3. The CV-240 series, which had a more modern design with cabin pressurization, made some inroads as a commercial airliner and had a long development cycle that produced various civil and military variants. Despite attrition, later variants of the “Convairliners” continued to fly well into the new millennium. According to
