The Convair CV-990 was an American narrow-body jet airliner produced between 1961 and 1963. It was a stretched and faster variant of the Convair 880, designed to compete with the Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8. With a wingspan of 36.58 meters, length of 42.49 meters, and height of 12.04 meters, the CV-990 was capable of cruising at speeds approaching Mach 0.89, making it one of the fastest subsonic commercial jets of its era. Spantax operated this aircraft type during the airline's operations serving leisure routes from Europe.
