Since 1946, various design studies for aircraft in this category had already been underway at several of the leading French aircraft manufacturing organisations, and had resulted in some ambitious concepts being mooted. The type and number of engines were not specified. This called for an aircraft capable of carrying 55 to 65 passengers and 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) of cargo on routes up to 2,000 km (1,100 nmi 1,200 mi) with a cruising speed of about 600 km/h (320 kn 370 mph). On 12 October 1951, the Comité du matériel civil (civil aircraft committee) published a specification for a medium-range aircraft, which was later sent to the aviation industry by the Direction technique et industrielle.

The stretched Caravelle 12 could seat 131 over 3,200 km (1,700 nmi). The later, slightly longer 10/11 variants could seat 99 to 118 passengers over 2,800 to 3,300 km (1,500 to 1,800 nmi) and were powered by Pratt & Whitney JT8D low-bypass turbofans. The initial I, III and VI variants could seat 90 to 99 passengers over 1,650 to 2,500 km (890 to 1,350 nmi). The configuration was later retained in many narrow-body aircraft and regional jets. The short-range, five-abreast airliner is powered by two aft-mounted Rolls-Royce Avon turbojet engines, allowing a clean low wing. It was ordered by airlines on every continent and operated until its retirement in 2005. SNCASE merged into the larger Sud Aviation conglomerate before the aircraft entered revenue service on 26 April 1959 with Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) 282 were built until production ended in 1972. It included some de Havilland designs and components developed for the de Havilland Comet. It was developed by SNCASE in the early 1950s and made its maiden flight on. The Sud Aviation SE 210 Caravelle is a French jet airliner produced by Sud Aviation.
