		The Lockheed Constellation, affectionately known as the “Connie”, was a four-engine propeller-driven airliner built by Lockheed between 1943 and 1958 at its Burbank, California, USA, facility.

		Da für die Ausnutzung der maximalen Nutzlast bei der L.749/749A die verfügbaren Laderäume nicht mehr ausreichend waren, entwickelte Lockheed für diese Versionen einen externen Frachtbehälter (Speedpack) mit 2000 kg Nutzlast, der unter dem Mittelrumpf mit Schnellverschlüssen befestigt wurde und bei Bedarf mitgeführt werden konnte.
