Aero Commander 500 family

The Aero Commander 500 family is a series of light-twin piston-engined and turboprop aircraft originally built by the Aero Design and Engineering Company in the late 1940s, renamed the Aero Commander company in 1950, and later a division of Rockwell International in 1965.

Because the 500 series skips 700
Because 700 is a pressurized thing they built with the Japanese and then all of their singles are still commanders but have a ridiculous amount of convolution because they’re all either 112s or 114s but you can hardly tell a difference either way

There’s a commander with a good looking jet conversion

#

Somewhere

#

This bugger

#

Wait no

#

It’s a airstar

#

Which is based off of the commander

#

That they slapped hairdryers on

#

God the commander series is convoluted

hearty drum
# granite reef

thats low wing config the one that you suggest its high wing config

granite reef
#

Basically

#

There’s the 500
Which then gets convoluted because Rockwell did the entirely number based naming system
Then the 500 was developed into the Aerostar by its designer after it’s designer left Aero commander because it was sold to Rockwell
But the 500 was also developed into the Jet commander which is a business jet
When then got developed into the Gulfstream G100
But the Aerostar got sold to Piper then had again a convoluted naming scheme then got a single conversion to a FJ-80 Aerostar jet
But also had the speedster which is a Aerostar but with a single turboprop
So yeah
Connvoluted
