Convair aircraft in the FAA registry
Convair, originally Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation, was an American aircraft-manufacturing company created by the 1943 merger of Consolidated Aircraft and Vultee Aircraft. It later expanded into rockets and spacecraft and was purchased by General Dynamics in 1953. The company is best known for military aircraft like the B-36 Peacemaker and B-58 Hustler, as well as the first Atlas rockets.
According to the FAA registry, data as of 2026-10-16, there are 118 registered aircraft under the manufacturer name "CONSOLIDATED VULTEE". These represent 14 distinct models, with 110 valid registrations. The fleet consists mainly of reciprocating engine aircraft. Most were built between 1940 and 1980, with half constructed in 1942 or earlier. The majority are fixed-wing single-engine aircraft (90), while 28 are multi-engine. Airworthiness classifications include 83 standard, 9 experimental, and 6 restricted.
The most numerous registered model is the BT-13A, with 56 aircraft built between 1941 and 1953. Other significant models include the BT-13B (SNV-2) with 11 units, the BT-15 with 8, the PBY-5A with 8, the BT-13 with 7, and the PBY-6A with 7. Type certificate data sheets (TCDS) cover these models. TCDS A-2-571, held by Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation Stinson Division, covers the BT-13A, BT-13B, BT-15, and BT-13. TCDS TC 2-548, held by General Dynamics Corporation, covers the PBY-5A.
Geographically, Texas holds the most registrations with 22, followed by California with 14, and Florida with 13. Each model has its own page with specifications and the type certificate data sheet, and every aircraft has a registration record by N-number.
