Sud-Aviation Caravelle VII F-BJAO - Caravelle Santa Maria
Sud-Aviation Caravelle VII F-BJAO / N420GE (msn 042) Caravelle Santa MariaThis was a Caravelle Series III (c/n 042) that was purchased by General Electric and equipped with General Electric CJ805 aft-fan Engines, becoming, in effect, the Engine test-bed for the Super Caravelle 10A. Flight tests with the new Engines began on 29 December 1960 and a second aircraft was planned to be converted, but this aircraft became the sole Caravelle 10A. After flight testing in France and the United States, as well as a world-wide sales tour, F-BJAO reverted to Caravelle III standard, powered by Rolls-Royce Avon Engines and was delivered to Air France as F-BLKF. Date: 1961
