Introducing
Lockheed Constellation
The Lockheed Constellation (affectionately known as the "Connie") was a four
engine propeller-driven aircraft built by Lockheed between 1943, and 1958, in
its Burbank, California, facility. 856 aircraft were produced in four model
variations. It was used as both a civilian airliner and U.S. military air
transport plane, seeing service in the Berlin Airlift and as the presidential
aircraft for President Eisenhower.
As the first pressurized aircraft in widespread use, it helped to usher in
affordable and comfortable air travel for the masses. Among airlines that flew
Constellations were Aer Lingus, Trans World Airlines, Pan American World Airways,
BOAC, Air France, Eastern Airlines, KLM, Qantas, El Al, and Lufthansa.
The Constellation is distinguished by its distinctive triple-tail design and
graceful, dolphin-shaped fuselage.
