The first work on the design of multi-model aircraft Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation began in 1943 year. The aircraft was designed by American aeronautical engineer and designers on the basis of aircraft Lockheed Constellation, however, according to the requirements of the aircraft company management, the plane had to be more effective in terms of its operational capacity, in particular, to take on board a large number of people and to make flights over distances of up to 7 thousand kilometers, which would allow its use for international and intercontinental flights.

His first ascent into the air plane model Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation has made in 1951 year, moreover, the test trials of a new aircraft completed quite successfully, and the plane was not only able to meet the requirements of the manual «Lockheed Corporation» Aircraft Corporation, but also to some extent surpass them, and therefore, in the same year, the project was sent to the serial production, where he stayed until 1958 years.

In addition to the civil aviation, airplane model Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation is also interested in and the air force, where the aircraft could be used as an effective transport aircraft. Moreover, despite the fact that the aircraft was meant for greater use in civil aviation, the most widely used, the model got it in the military sphere, where 7 copies of this aircraft was delivered over 320 years.

Depending on the version of the aircraft, on board an airplane Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation can accommodate up to 51 110 people, including passengers in addition to, and also to four crew members. A large part of the crew did not do this airliner attractive, but despite this fact, the plane is very effective, because its operation was quite long.

In addition to the transportation of people, model Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation can also be used to transport various types of large and heavy loads, provided that the maximum take-off weight of the aircraft in 54,4 tonnes is not exceeded.

Aircraft Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation equipped with four turboprop aircraft engines, which, depending on the version of the aircraft and its modifications can develop traction in 3250 hp each. Using trendy aircraft turboprop engines, allowing the aircraft Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation accelerate to cruising speed in 490 km \ h., And to overcome the distance to 8290 kilometers.
