Canadair began work on the CL-28 in April 1954 and at the time it was the largest aircraft built in Canada. The hybrid design was derived from the Bristol Britannia transport, having the same wings, tail surfaces and landing gear. The fuselage was completely redesigned by Canadair, going from a pressurized cabin of the Britannia to a non-pressurized one with bomb bays fore and aft of the wings. The powerplant was also changed from the Bristol Proteus turbo-prop engines to Wright R-3350 compound (piston) engines, which had lower fuel consumption necessary for extended missions at low level.
