Description: Photo depicts a design-proposal for a scaled-down Convair-880 derivative known as the Model 60, which was conceived as a rival to the Boeing-737. The aircraft was to be powered by a pair of wing-mounted, aft-fanned CJ-805-23 turbofans and utilized virtually the same wing as the Convair-880M.

a strange Convair airliner design,accommodated 60 passenger and had a "high-wing",
and intended for Convair-Liner replacement,what was this ?.
Skyblazer said:Certainly not related to the Models 60 and 61. Perhaps related to the N-2 series of designs (date fits perfectly). See:

Inconclusive. This could read 1010, but also 1018, 1016, 1810, 1816, 181C, etc.Maybe the Convair Model 61 had the earlier designation "Convair Model 1010".
Well, you could argue, "Convair CV-1010" is just a next following designation after the Convair CV-880 and Convair CV-990.Inconclusive. This could read 1010, but also 1018, 1016, 1810, 1816, 181C, etc.
Unless we can see a better quality image I think the speculation here is pretty irrelevant.
Besides, Convair never used any four-digit designations.
SDASM's own file name states 1010 so I'll go with 1010 too.... MarkInconclusive. This could read 1010, but also 1018, 1016, 1810, 1816, 181C, etc.

Oh, okay! Thanks, Mark.SDASM's own file name states 1010 so I'll go with 1010 too.... Mark
I didn't mean to "hype" anything, I simply put bold type to indicate that this was the title of the item.Ummm... the book says nothing about "supersonic", and the performance numbers are solidly subsonic.
So maybe dial back the hyperbole a little?
Just because the seller was incorrectly hyping the book doesn't mean you have to.
