FS2004 United Air Lines Convair CV-340

FS2004 United Air Lines Convair CV-340. Part of the CalClassic Archive Project. The CV-340 made its debut with United Air Lines in November 1952. It had little in common with the CV-240, having a much larger wing and a longer fuselage to lift more weight. Improved transonic characteristics allowed it to cruise higher despite its greater useful load, surface area and drag. The larger CV-340 was more profitable than the CV-240, but when also powered by R-2800-CB16 engines it needed longer runways due to its greater weight. Of the 311 built, 102 were military transports for the USAF and USN under the designations C-131B/D and R4Y-1. A complete aircraft, includes model, panel, and sounds.  This is the FS2004 CV-340 Base Pack, add other liveries to this package. By Greg Pepper, Tom Gibson, and FSAviator
