IAI 1121 Jet Commander

Business jet designed by Aero Commander and powered by two General Electric CJ610 turbojets, which first flew on 27 January 1963 and was first delivered in January 1965. After North American Rockwell acquired Aero Commander, the programme was sold to Israel Aircraft Industries in 1968, which completed production as the Commodore Jet. About 150 were built in the United States and Israel, and the design evolved into the IAI Westwind.
