Topic: P3 orion


  
  The P-3 Orion
The Orions were used to monitor ships movements in the Persian Gulf and passed target information on to tactical aircraft.
P3 Orions are also at the forefront of America's war on drugs.
With an operative range of 17 hours, the Orion satisfy the specific demands for patrol and ASW missions: it has a cruise speed high enought and, at the meantime, is able to orbit near the target for seven hours to a maximum distance of 1850 kms from the home base.

  P-3 Orion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lockheed P-3 Orion is a maritime patrol aircraft of the United States military used primarily for maritime patrol, reconnaissance, and anti-submarine warfare.
The P-3 Orion is based on the Lockheed L-188 Electra which met limited success as an airliner against emerging pure jets.
The Orion is powered by 4 powerful and efficient turboprops which give it speed comparable to fast propeller powered fighters, or even slow turbofan jets such as the A-10.
