L749
The Lockheed L-749 Constellation is an improved long-range variant of the original Lockheed Constellation airliner. Introduced in 1947, the L-749 featured increased fuel capacity and an enhanced Wright R-3350 engine installation, giving it a range of approximately 4,100 miles and enabling true non-stop transatlantic service. With a seating capacity of up to 81 passengers in a high-density layout, the L-749 offered airlines greater flexibility for both passenger and cargo operations. It retained the Constellation's signature triple-tail design, elegant fuselage curves, and pressurized cabin that made the aircraft a favorite among passengers. Major operators included Pan American, TWA, Air France, and KLM, who used the L-749 on their most prestigious intercontinental routes. The L-749 was also adapted into several military variants, including the VC-121 used by the U.S. Air Force. The type represented a significant step forward in post-war long-range air transport and helped establish the Constellation as one of the most celebrated airliners of its generation.
