Rockwell Turbo Commander
The Turbo Commander
developed from the Aero Commander light twins, and was based on the
680FLP. The prototype first flew on 31 Dec. 1964. The initial model
entered production in 1965 as the 680T. Development continued, and when
North American Rockwell took over Aero Commander, the name Hawk Commander
was briefly applied to the series. It was dropped in 1971. By this time,
Rockwell was already developing the 690, which had first flown on 3 March
1968. The 690 was developed through the Jetprop Commander 840 and 980,
which were produced by Gulfstream, who had acquired Rockwell's General
Aviation Division in 1981.
