The Aero Commander 100, originally developed as the Volaire series, represented a brief but notable attempt to capture the civilian training aircraft market in the 1960s. First flown in 1960, it was a high-wing, single-engine monoplane designed to seat three to four occupants with distinctive omni-vision windows for enhanced pilot training. Measuring 22 feet 6 inches in length with a height of 9 feet 4 inches, the aircraft featured a forward-swept vertical tail and tricycle landing gear. Originally manufactured by Volaircraft Inc. and later by Rockwell's Aero Commander division.
