About the 680

The Aero Commander 680 is a fixed-wing twin-engine aircraft featuring a high-wing configuration and a cabin layout that accommodates up to seven seats. It suits executive transport and regional utility roles, offering cabin-class room in a light-twin category.

Developed from origins rooted in wartime bomber engineering, the prototype first flew in the late nineteen-forties with production beginning shortly thereafter. Over subsequent years, the airframe evolved through various supercharged and pressurized iterations, including stretched fuselage variants designed for higher-density seating, operated by both civil entities and military branches.
