Notes:

This short range (30-40 pax), piston powered aircraft was originally planned for commercial use by the builder CASA in the early 60s. But, as with many aeronautic projects, it is hard for them to take off commercially. Only 20 units were ever produced. Part of the reasons include the size and the lack of a pressurized cabin, in addition to jet engines starting to appear. Possible competitors would have been the Fokker 27, Convair 440 and Avro 748. Due to the lack of sales and failure of a national project (commercially) the Spanish government adopted it into the Spanish Air Force. The aircraft is found at the Museo Del Aire, Madrid
