Thanks for watching.
What a beautiful post for the most elegant jet ever flown through the skies. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
And that cool nose is a DeHavilland creation
🧠
Your videos are a real treat to those of us who have flown aboard these remarkable aircraft. I have lived and worked all over the globe and with each video you share, memories are restored of past people, places, and experiences. This beautiful aircraft was one of my most favorite in Belgium, France, Viet-Nam, and the French-speaking African countries. In my imagination I can still hear the Caravelle (and Mirage) jets screaming majestically through take off routines. Thanks for your narrations, research, and editing. DJ in Knoxville TN
You’re amazing that you so much for watching i really appreciate it
A great tribute to the Caravelle, the leader in short to medium range jet aircraft in the mid 1950s. A remarkable aircraft of it's time and in my opinion one of the most beautiful aircraft of the jet age.
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Beautiful aircraft. 14 months as a crew member. Quite, everybody loved it except maintenance
That’s wonderful 🤗 for everyone but maintenance 👨🔧 🤦🏽♂️
Outstanding narrative. You are a grand presenter. Thanks
Thank you 🙏🏽
The narrative was 99% gibberish.
If straight forward knowledge about aircraft, aviation & the relevant history & industry is sought look elsewhere mostly.
The Caravelle was certainly one of those “looks right” designs. Aesthetically pleasing, the features guided by utility. The kind of things engineers should be striving for.
Definitely correct
Lots of cooperation between de Havilland and SUD -- the front fuselage of the Caravelle is a Comet.
🤔🤔
Very true
Funny how this popped up right after I commented on the DC-9 video about this plane being my first airplane ride. October 1967, United Airlines, Buffalo to St. Louis. That memory of existing above the clouds still etched in my mind.
The a very very cool memory 💪🏽🧠
The legacy of the Caravelle goes way beyond specimens preserved in museums. With its original success, Sud actually envisioned a supersonic successor. But since the Caravelle inherited the nose design from the Comet, and since the Brits had similar supersonic ambitions, the two projects were merged and thus the Concorde was born. It turned out to be an economic disaster as much as a technological triumph, but it its light it was considered clear at the time that trans-European cooperation was the way to go for the European aviation industry to stand a chance against the American majors. And thus the European companies set up an initially obscure joint program called Airbus...
So next time you board an Airbus aircraft, remember that it's quite literally a grandson of the Caravelle.
The most beautiful jetliner ever made. Only the French could have done it! Back in the 1980s I worked with the Caravelle 10s and 12s of Sterling as well as the 10s operated by Transwede.
Well done. In the summer of 1961, United Airlines bought 20 Caravelle VI-R variants and my eldest sister was one of three flight attendants (then called “stewardesses”) on United’s maiden flight.
My beloved Caravelle 🙏
I remember the Super Caravelle 12 ..when my mother and I went to Lake Garda with TJÆREBORG from 1970 - 1980 ...
The noise from the JT8D engine ..I will never forget.❤
The stair case ...the cabin, the smell of fuel, the wing ...I just love the Super Caravelle 12
It’s wonderful to hear your fond memories of the Super Caravelle 12. The unique sounds and smells of an aircraft can indeed leave a lasting impression, creating a nostalgia that’s as vivid as the day it was experienced. The Super Caravelle, with its distinctive design and engines, holds a special place in the hearts of many, and it’s always a joy to hear personal stories that celebrate these iconic machines.
This was the most beautiful French airplane ever built, aside from the Concorde that was shared between the French and British, the Sud Caravelle was a phenomenal airplane for both the passenger and flight crews.
The only time I saw a Caravelle was in 1969/70 at Rome Airport. It was LOUD so loud it shattered a large glass window in the terminal building. Something I will never forget. A very pretty aeroplane in the French style.
Everytime the jet flow was directed towards cars, persons, etc, the effect was predictable.
With any type of jet-airplane.
Caravelle was not nosier than any other jets from the same time.
Caravelle, Vickers 10, and Connie are my top 3 favorite designs. I wish more of those old girls were still around.
The Caravelle, Vickers, and Connie indeed represent the golden age of aviation. Their designs resonate with us too. How about a retro series where we delve into the stories of these timeless aircraft and perhaps explore what it would be like if they were still gracing the skies today?
My first flight was a Pan Am 707 to Paris from Chicago. My second flight was a Caravelle from Paris to London. I was fascinated by the entryway! 6 years old!
I love that
I just made a fact filled video about the caravelle, great to see another video about this beautiful aircraft. You used some great video material!
Thanks for the info!
Just got to say this is a great video I've never even heard of SUD Aviation
My first flight in 1964!
Great video! The Caravelle was a beautiful jet. United Airlines had an interesting deal with Sud and flew the Caravelle on short/medium routes in the US for years. I remember as a young boy watching the rare Caravelle with excitement. United was impressed with the quality of construction and attention to detail. It ended, I guess too many cheap 73s and DC-9s. Sud paid DeHavilland to license the nose and windshield design used for the Comet. Check pictures and videos to see the same nose on both aircraft. I don't believe an aircraft manufacturer ever licensed a component that significant to another manufacturer. Rich history indeed.
Your reflection on the Caravelle's history with United Airlines and the shared design elements with the Comet is accurate. United's use of the Caravelle and the licensing agreement with Sud Aviation is a notable part of aviation history.
I remember flying Alitalia Caravelle's from Roma to Catania... nice plane!
You got a good channel going on here. Tight editing and compelling dialogue. Keep it up.
Glad you enjoy it!
Airborne Express (USA) operated two Caravelles at least through the late 1980s. One is a museum at the Columbus Ohio Airport (KCMH).
Hopefully I’ll check it out soon
Once again an absolutely superb presentation. In my opinion, a majestic combination of artistic design and advanced technology. I missed flying on it by just a few years. There are two being restored in Stockholm, one in Finnair colors.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice history report. Great, beautifully built airplane.
one small correction; In 1959 both Air France and SAS had a couple of Caravelles each, both airlines were making proving flights on their respective routes. SAS actually was the first to inaugurate commercial service on April 26, 1959. SAS was very happy with their Caravelle IIIs and acquired a rather large fleet. I travelled in a Sterling Airways Caravelle 12 from Stockholm to the Canary Is. in 1972, charter config. with a scheduled refueling stop in Bordeaux !

Fascinating. I knew nothing about this one. Ty!
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Great video, thank you. I remember landing in Palma airport....Majorca (Spain) in the late 1980's seeing a Caravelle on the ramp...... even then it looked more modern than the nearby 737's etc.

Thanks for sharing!
'Wonderfully well researched and excellently presented as usual. A few other types were seen including a few almost contemporary WW2 piston powered prop liners.
How many were built?
Perhaps worth mentioning too that Sud Aviation evolved into part of the French elements of the multinational Airbus Aircraft and Helicopter corporation.

Thank you very very much. Sud aviation did evolve as you said.
Talking about the British Comet but showing the Soviet TU-104
lol
❤❤❤❤❤
Videos like yours remind us, in any highly competitive industry, the CUTTING EDGE is not the cutting edge for long. Something brilliant one day can be obsolete the next. Each, a snap shot of someone's best at that point in time, a mark on a ruler that helps measure how far we've come.
You are right
On work trips to Helsinki on early 1980s, I was surprised to see Finnair still using Caravelles. Apparently, their replacement DC9s did not have the range to reach either Rhodes (without overflying Soviet-block Eastern Europe) or Madrid, so the oldies were kept until the MD80s arrived.
fascinating to learn about the operational decisions airlines had to make due to geopolitical constraints. The Sud Aviation Caravelle was indeed a remarkable aircraft for its time, and it’s intriguing to hear that Finnair kept them operational for as long as they did. The intricacies of aircraft range and overflight rights certainly played a significant role in such decisions.
The original Caravelle did not have trust reversers. Instead it had some enormous wheel brakes and a brake parachute. I have once flown with it when it was activated. Landing in an airport with short runway, Bulltofta (Malmø, Sweden) with potentially slippery runway. It is to my knowledge the only passenger aircraft with triangular windows.
Thanks!
Welcome!
I have always been intrigued by the triangular shaped windows of the Caravelle.
👍😎👍
💪🏽💪🏽
Imagine the Caravelle with 2 RR RB.106 with 30,000ibs of thrust to call on whereas the British Comet would have 4 RR RB.106with 60,000ibs of thrust
That would be really cool!
United Airline had a small fleet of Caravelle jets until 1967 when they were replace by the Boeing 727 and the 737 jets
Oh wow good to know thank you
Saw it first when it was on display at Brussels Expo 58..
Beautiful time to see an amazing airplane
I remember when United got there's they didn't put the RR engines on them the export version of the plane came with either Pratt's or GE engines
Wow!!
Took a Swissair Caravelle from London to Basel many years ago.
How was it
@@dontdeletehistory A novel experience. I vividly remember boarding via the rear stairs that were let down from the fuselage. Perhaps the first civil passenger aircraft with such an arrangement. I was perhaps 9 years old, and not yet an enthusiast for such things.
I also was unaware of this jet. So what happened to Sud? Were they a one hit wonder with the Caravelle or did they have any follow up commercial aircraft?
they became airbus
The airline industry is very competitive.
🧠
@@petefroehling8704 really? They are part of Airbus? Was it a direct combination with other companies or a convoluted mess with parts of it being integrated into Airbus?
In a word, elegant.
Cockpit and nose from the Comet I believe
🤔
The nicest airliner ever!
Douglas copied her, offering the DC 9.
Somehow, not as futuristic as the real thing.
No Captions = No Use.
??
@@dontdeletehistoryI think he means because your voice is very soothing and eloquent. Facts👍😎👍
@@user-yg4us2uh3x if so, wellll then you very very much I really appreciate it.
Giving a lot of superlative credits to the French here, the nose section, arguably the most important part, was a British design, built under licence, the engines were not that good, until they used British engines. The narrative is very pretentious and over dramatic, a bit more facts would help. Did Tony Blair do the script?
Okay
nice video, good job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Lindberg models made a plastic scale model with full interior detail, one side of the fuselage was molded in clear plastic to allow viewing of the interior details.
Very very cool
Pima air museum has an example on display.
I would love to check it out
