Simply known as the 'Connie', the four-engined Super Constellation was one of the first trans-Atlantic airliners of the post war period. To meet the increasing demand for air transport across large distances in comfort, this extended version of the original Constellation could carry 71 passengers in First Class or 95 in Economy. Its 500 kmh speed was markedly faster than its competitiors could achieve at the time, and by using more efficient engines and larger fuel tanks it could cross the pacific with fewer stops. The Super Constellation heralded a whole new era in passenger flying.
