Renard R-35 pressurised trimotor airliner prototype......

[Caravellarella]

Dear Boys and Girls, here is an article about the the Belgian Renard R-35 trimotor 20-passenger airliner. It was the first pressurised airliner to be designed and it was produced to meet a SABENA requirement to replace the Savoia-Marchetti S.73 on the Belgian Congo route. The Renard R-35 crashed on its maiden flight and the pressure cabin was never tested in operational circumstances......

The article comes from the September 1978 issue of Air International......
