Commander 690 Aircraft Information
The Aero Commander 500 is the first in a series of light-twin engine aircraft. The company became the Aero Commander company in 1950, and a division of Rockwell International in 1965.
A project engineer at the Douglas Aircraft Company, Ted Smith, developed the idea of the type. In 1944, since Douglas was not interested in the aircraft a group of company engineers formed the Aero Design and Engineering Company to design and build the proposed aircraft. The Model L3805 was completed in July 1946. Powered by two Lycoming O-435-A piston engines, the L3805 was an all-metal, high-wing monoplane with retractable undercarriage and accommodated up to five people. This prototype flew successfully and the company built a new factory at Bethany or Oklahoma City. There they built the production version named the Commander 520. The first production was released in August 1951.
