1930s

	Lockheed
		The Lockheed Company, one of the giants in the modern aerospace industry, began in 1912 when the Loughead brothers, Allan and Malcolm, formed the Alco Hydro-Aeroplane Company in San Francisco.
		The Orion, which featured the NACA cowling and retractable landing gear, was a wooden monoplane that could carry a pilot and six passengers.
		The 1937 Lockheed 14 Super Electra, designed to compete with the Douglas DC-2 and DC-3, failed as a commercial aircraft in the United States because it had too small a capacity.

	Russian Military Aircraft Links
		Lockheed built variants of the T-33 included the AT-33, an armed close air support version delivered to various nations under MAP, and the RT-33, a single seat variant with various reconnaissance sensors in the nose.
		Lockheeds submission was based on a shortened Electra airliner and this aircraft was selected for development in April 1958.
		Lockheed has worked to reduce assembly costs, adopting a modular assembly process, and has also kept pressure on its suppliers (who also have a financial stake in the program through funding the development of their own products for the C-130J) to keep costs down.

	Lockheed Orion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lockheed Corporation produced two kinds of aircraft named Orion.
		The Lockheed 9 Orion was a single-engine six-passenger transport aircraft of the 1930s.
		The P-3 Orion is a maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare aircraft introduced in the 1960s and still in use in 2003.

	Partners in Freedom
		Lockheed proposed a militarized version of the Electra, and in April 1958, the Navy awarded Lockheed a contract to develop the aircraft.
		The Orion retained the wings, tail unit, basic fuselage structure, power plant, and many subsystems of the Electra, although its fuselage was about 7 ft. shorter than the Electra’s.
		Lockheed and Langley flutter experts were concerned that the propeller driven Electra may have exhibited the phenomenon known as propeller-whirl flutter, in which the stiffness of the engine mounts interacts with the gyroscopic torques produced by the engine and propeller combination.

	3D lwo Orion free lockheed
		The first Lockheed Orion was flown in April 1931 by chief test pilot Marshall Headle and speeds of 225mph were achieved.
		The Orion was billed as the 'fastest airliner in the world' and was the first airliner in the world to use a retractable undercarriage.
		The Orions were highly successful and safe aeroplanes but government restrictions on the use of single engined aircraft brought the airline career to a halt in 1934, although some continued working as mail and cargo planes.

	Special Hobby 1/72 Lockheed Orion
		The enterprising brothers Loughead (that's pronounced "Lockheed," by the way) sensed the market in mid-1930 for a light transport as air travel and transport began to gain importance.
		Another Orion was modified into the Orion-Explorer, which Wiley Post and Will Rogers used for their ultimately fatal attempted around-the-world flight.
		The pilot in the Orion sat under a fighter-style canopy away from his passengers.

	Flight Journal: Detroit-Lockheed Orion 9C Special: The one that got away
		Detroit Aircraft Corp., of which Lockheed in Burbank, California, became a division, built duralumin fuselages to be used in place of the more fragile plywood units.
		This special Orion was purchased by Shell Oil for Jimmy Doolittle (because of Doolittle's persuasion) after his heavily overloaded Vega had been damaged in an unsuccessful takeoff.
		Damaged in an accident in 1936, the 9C Orion was repaired at Parks Air College in St. Louis, Missouri, before being purchased by movie and racing specialist Paul Mantz in 1938.

		The Orion ASW aircraft is a development of the 1950's vintage L-188 Electra Airliner airframe.
		Orions have been supplied to a number of airforces outside the US, including Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain.
		The RNZAF and Lockheed Martin have worked in conjunction to develop solutions which will be of interest to other older Orion operators around the world.

	Lockheed WP-3D Orion
		Two of the world's premier research aircraft, the renowned NOAA WP-3D Orions, participate in a wide variety of national and international meteorological, oceanographic and environmental research programs in addition to their widely known use in hurricane research and reconnaissance.
		These versatile turboprop aircraft are equipped with an unprecedented variety of scientific instrumentation, radars and recording systems for both in-situ and remote sensing measurements of the atmosphere, the earth and its environment.
		Obtained as new aircraft from the Lockheed production line in the mid-70's, these robust and well maintained aircraft have led NOAA's continuing effort to monitor and study hurricanes and other severe storms, the quality of the atmosphere, the state of the ocean and its fish population, and climate trends.

	Lockheed P-3 Orion
		A Lockheed P-3C, BuNo 157313 recently repainted in the new glossy grey overall colors took off for a training flight on July 3, 2002.
		Unusual was the sight of four blue practice bombs on the underwing pylons.
		There were no markings to identify the squadron, but the presentation of the last three of the BuNo on the fin tip, suggests VP-10.

	Aerospaceweb.org \| Aircraft Museum - P-3 Orion
		Designed as a land-based anti-submarine maritime patrol aircraft to replace the P2V Neptune, the P-3 is derived from the Lockheed L-188 Electra passenger airliner.
		Externally, the only significant differences between the Electra and the P-3 are inclusion of an unpressurized weapons bay forward of the wing, a shortened fuselage, and addition of a magnetic anomaly detector (MAD) boom at the tail.
		The Orion has proven very popular with foreign nations and has been operated by at least 13 navies.

		The P3V Orion, derived from Lockheed's successful L188 Electra airliner, entered the inventory in July 1962, and more than 30 years later it remains the Navy's sole land-based antisubmarine warfare aircraft.
		The last Navy P-3 came off the production line at the Lockheed plant in April 1990.

	Lockheed P-3 Orion AEW
		The Lockheed Martin P-3 AEW Orion was developed using ex-Royal Australian Air Force and US Navy P-3B airframes, combined with the APS-125 Radar and Mission System (later retrofitted with an APS-138 system) from the United States Navy E-2 Hawkeye carrier-borne AEW&C aircraft.
		The United States Customs Service, which is at this time the sole user of the P-3 AEW, took delivery of the first one in 1988 and since 1993 has been operating a fleet of four aircraft for counter-narcotics missions in the US particularly over the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean.
		Other radars fitted to the P-3 AEW to fulfill the counter-narcotics mission includes the Hughes APG-63U, derived from the radar used in early model F-15 Eagle fighters.

	Approach: Driving a classic - Crew Resource Management - Lockheed P-3 Orion
		The weather was hot, the mission was all too familiar, and our vintage-1970s, Lockheed P-3 Orion already had shot the No. 2 turbine in an impressive--even by P-3 standards--display of spewing oil and smoke.
		I felt confident there was little our vintage Orion could throw our way that we couldn't handle.
		With over 15,000 hours of P-3 experience in the flight station, the mighty Orion still managed to throw us a curve ball.

	Amazon.com: The Age of Orion: Lockheed P-3 an Illustrated History (Schiffer Military/Aviation History): Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		David Reade's 223 page hardcover does an excellent job of telling the story of the Lockheed P3 Orion from its late 50s origins as a modified Electra passenger airliner to the present day P3C.
		All major modifications of the Orion and all the countries that fly them are covered, and perhaps this is the only true weakness of the book.
		It's such a huge story that giving detailed comprehensive coverage to 'rare' variants and foreign operators of relatively few aircraft takes valuable page space away from the standard USN antisubmarine patrol aircraft that this writer knows and loves (I'm a P3 EWO in the US Navy Reserve).
