Designed a domestic short to medium range airliner, two basic versions of the Electra were built. The L188A was the basic production aircraft, and accounted for most Electra sales. The L188C, which entered service in 1959, offered greater fuel capacity and higher weights, with improved payload and range performance. To accommodate the increased weights, the C model body-to-wing fairing was also updated, giving a more blunt or stubby appearance.
