Canadair CL-44 - Variants

Variants

CL-44-6
Version built for the Royal Canadian Air Force as the CC-106 Yukon, 12-built
CL-44D4-1
Civil, commercial cargo aircraft, civil prototype and production aircraft for Seaboard World Airlines, eight-built.

CL-44J
Four CL-44D4 aircraft stretched by Canadair on request of Icelandic Airlines LoftleiĆ°ir, with a section, 10 ft 1 in (3.07 m) forward of the wing, and another section of 5 ft 1 in (1.55 m) aft of the wing. This enabled the installation of 29 extra seats, bringing the capacity to 189 passengers. The maximum take-off weight stayed the same since the extra weight was compensated by removing the center wing tanks. Therefore it can be said that the stretch was a trade of capacity for range.
CL-44-O
Also known as the Skymonster and CL-44 Guppy. The CL-44-O was a single CL-44D4 converted by Conroy Aircraft, who removed the fuselage shell above the floorline, and rebuilt an enlarged fuselage to make it into a Guppy-type aircraft. It was intended to transport Rolls-Royce RB211 engine pods to the United States for Lockheed's L-1011 Tristar.
