History:
The
Lockheed Constellation,
affectionately nicknamed the
Connie, was a four-engine
propeller-driven airliner that has
been used in both civilian and
military service. Military versions
were employed by the United States
Army Air Forces/Air Force and Navy,
and other air forces worldwide. Built
from 1943 to 1958, a total of 856
aircraft were produced in four
models, all featuring a distinctive
triple-tail design and a graceful
dolphin-shaped fuselage.
The Constellation started out as
a slightly smaller plane with less
powerful motors. As new radical
engines were developed, it was
stretched and modified to
accommodate the new motors.
These Connies with longer bodies
were called Super Constellations.
On February 6, 1946, Trans World
Airlines (TWA) opened post-war
commercial intercontinental air
service with a New York-Paris flight
in a Constellation. As the first
pressurized airliner in widespread
use, the aircraft helped provide
affordable and comfortable air travel
for the masses. It became extremely
popular and was soon bought by a
number of other airlines, including
Pan American World Airways, Air
France and Lufthansa.
The “G� version
of the Constellation had additional
fuel tanks and first flew on
December 12, 1954. It had a max
speed of 370 mph at 20,000 feet,
and a max range of 5,250 miles with
8,500 pounds payload. The Super G
was the most successful variant and
with it, TWA was able to offer
nonstop coast to coast and
transatlantic flights.
