AéROSPATIALE CORVETTE
__NOTOC__
The 'Aérospatiale SN 601 Corvette' was a French business jet of the early 1970s, Aérospatiale's only venture into that market. It first flew on 16 July 1970. Sales were disappointing, and the production line was closed after only 40 aircraft had been sold in six years (Aérospatiale had hoped to sell six per month). Many of the Corvettes sold went to European regional airlines.
The Corvette was a conventional design for its class, a low-wing monoplane with twin turbofans mounted in nacelles mounted to the rear fuselage.
