Convair 240 N55VM
Just for information "The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the the probable cause of this accident was fuel exhaustion and total loss of power from both engines due to crew inattention to fuel supply. Contributing to the fuel exhaustion were inadequate flight planning and an engine malfunction of undetermined nature in the right engine which resulted in higher-than-normal fuel consumption (NTSB-AAR-78-6)" MilborneOne 22:15, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
C-131 Samaritan
MilborneOne, I found this page by accident today, and had no clue you had just add the military variants list just today! I saw the long list in the articel and thought, "Now why isn't all this on its own page?" I was already looking for some more pics of the CV-2400/340/440s, and found one of a C-131 on one of the interwikis. So, I went ahead and created the new article. Hopefully, you'll have more info you can add there, and the text definitly needs cleaning up and rewriting. I'll try to do what I can on that this week. - BillCJ 08:17, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Number built
Hi. I'm a bit skeptic on the amount of 1181 given here. As far as I'm aware this should be 1077; 1 Cv110 (the prototype), 448 Cv240 (incl T-29A/B/C), 92 T-29D, 510 Cv340/440 (incl C-131B/D/E/F) and 26 C-131A. This excludes the 10 Canadair build examples.

Accidents and incidents section
This list is now starting to engulf the article and is being separated into a sub-article. If every accident of a long-lasting transport type were listed, it would be unnecessarily long. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 15:56, 17 August 2011 (UTC).
- It would be more normal to be at List of accidents and incidents involving the Convair CV-240 family to match others of the same type and in Category:Lists of aviation accidents and incidents. MilborneOne (talk) 17:15, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
- Sound right, you make the move or me? Also need to look at C-46 and Constellation sub-articles. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 17:18, 17 August 2011 (UTC).
- No problem I will look at them, thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 17:24, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

'Convair 660', mentioned in the Rolls-Royce RB.203 article, redirects here, but this article makes no mention of it. So, what was the Convair 660? 86.183.83.192 (talk) 03:58, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
- According to this issue of Flight [1] it was a projected Trent turbofan-powered aircraft similar to the Fokker F-28 but with over-wing engines.
'Not similar enough'?
What? See below - some very significant similarities, I would have said.
Element | CV 240 family | HS 748 |
---|---|---|
Design case | DC3 replacement | DC3 replacement |
Crew | 2 – 3 flight deck crew | 2 flight deck, 1 pass. attendant |
Pax capacity | 40 – 52 (CV-440) | 40 - 58 |
Empty weight | 11,542 kg – 13,381 kg | 12,347 kg |
Max Take-off / gross weight | 19,278 kg | 21,092 kg |
Wingspan | 27.97 m | 31.32 m |
Length | 22.76 m | 20.42 m |
Height | 8.2 m | 7.57 m |
Wing area | 75.9 m2 | 77 m² |
Cruise speed | 451 km/h | 452 km/h |
Range | 1931 km | 1715 km |
Powerplants | Various, including x 2 Rolls-Royce Dart turboprops (CV 640). | x 2 Rolls-Royce Dart turboprops |
A further point of similarity - both of these aircraft are still flying after half a century or so - I saw a CV-580 (ZK-CIE) just the other day. But I had to look twice to make sure it wasn't a 748. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pinot (talk • contribs) 00:35, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
