Such aircraft include the Hawker-Siddeley Nimrod, the Breguet Atlantique, the Tupolev Tu-95, the Lockheed P-2 Neptune and the Lockheed P-3 Orion / CP-140 Aurora.

No. 407 Maritime Patrol Squadron initially used the Avro Lancaster then Lockheed P2V Neptune, followed by the Canadair CP-107 Argus and currently the CP-140 Aurora.

In 1980, 407 Squadron began re-equipping with the Lockheed CP-140 Aurora.

The cancellation of the program led members of the UAV National Industry Team ( UNITE ) alliance, which includes Boeing, General Atomics, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, AeroVironment, and Aurora Flight Sciences to advocate for a new national plan in testimony before the United States Congress.

To replace the Embraer P-95 Bandeirulha in the maritime patrol duties, 12 Lockheed P-3A Orions have been bought from US Navy surplus and eight ( with an option for a ninth ) of them are being upgraded by EADS CASA in Spain, the remainder are to be used as spare parts source.

* Lockheed Hudson, maritime patrol / bomber

* Land-based maritime patrol aircraft were named for naval explorers-Avro Anson ( George Anson, 1st Baron Anson ), Lockheed Hudson ( Henry Hudson ), Avro Shackleton ( Ernest Shackleton ), Bristol Beaufort ( Francis Beaufort ).

In the 1990s, the embargo was lifted and the Lockheed L-188 Electras ( civilian aircraft converted for maritime patrol ) were finally retired and replaced with similar P-3B Orions and civilian Beechcraft King Air Model 200 were locally converted to the MP variant.

The Lockheed P2V Neptune replaced Greenwood's Lancasters beginning March 30, 1955 as the operational maritime reconnaissance aircraft.

The Coast Guard was also assigned two Lockheed P-3 Orion maritime patrol aircraft.

These included patrol types such as the Lockheed P2V Neptune and the Martin P4M Mercator.

* August 27 – The German submarine U-570 surrenders to a Royal Air Force Lockheed Hudson patrol bomber 80 nautical miles ( 148 km ) south of Iceland.

* Lockheed P-7, a proposed patrol aircraft ordered by the U. S. Navy

The squadron received modern aircraft in the form of Lockheed Hudsons converting to the patrol bomber role and in November 1942 became the first RNZAF squadron deployed forward in full strength to engage the Japanese, operating from Henderson Field at Guadalcanal in the South Pacific in a reconnaissance role.

The crew survived on shellfish and coconuts until spotted by a Lockheed Hudson patrol aircraft of the Royal New Zealand Air Force, and were picked up the following day by the YMS-1 class minesweeper YMS-89 of the US Navy and taken to Tongatabu.

The main heavy transport aircraft is the Lockheed C-130H Hercules and it will not change soon.

According to the limited information available, they used it to process radar cross section data for the Lockheed A-12 reconnaissance aircraft.

RAF Mount Pleasant, built following the surrender of Argentine invasion forces, is capable of accepting trans-Atlantic aircraft such as the Lockheed TriStar.

The U. S. Army established the basic configuration of the tracked APC with the M75 and M59 before adopting the lighter M113 which could be carried by Lockheed C-130 Hercules and other transport aircraft.

* Lockheed Model 9 Orion, a passenger aircraft introduced in 1931

The only PDP-3 was built by the CIA's Scientific Engineering Institute ( SEI ) in Waltham, MA to process radar cross section data for the Lockheed A-12 reconnaissance aircraft in 1960.

This educational production and training film from Lockheed shows standard aviation tooling and methods that are still used today for aluminum aircraft repair.

Large military and civil aircraft, such as the Lockheed L-188 Electra and the Tupolev Tu-95, have also used turboprop power.

The technology of the Lockheed Electra airliner was also used in military aircraft, such as the P-3 Orion and the C-130 Hercules, using the Allison T56.

The capture, rather than sinking, of U-570 – the only ship to be captured by an aircraft – on 27 August 1941 by a Lockheed Hudson from RAF Coastal Command was important for determining the fighting capacity of U-boats, although her crew destroyed the Enigma and cipher information.

Both Convair and Lockheed competed for the contract but in 1950, the requirement was revised, with a call for a research aircraft capable of eventually evolving into a VTOL ship-based convoy escort fighter.

Other vehicles named after Vega include the ESA's Vega launch system and the Lockheed Vega aircraft.

The first Wankel rotary-engine aircraft was the experimental Lockheed Q-Star civilian version of the United States Army's reconnaissance QT-2, basically a powered Schweizer sailplane, in 1968 or 1969.

* June 30 – Lockheed C-5 Galaxy heavy military transport aircraft first flies in the U. S. This model will still be in service forty years on.

* June 30 – A TWA Lockheed Constellation and United Airlines Douglas DC-7 collide in mid-air over the Grand Canyon in Arizona, killing all 128 people aboard both aircraft in the deadliest civil aviation disaster to date ; the accident leads to sweeping changes in the regulation of cross-country flight and air traffic control over the United States.

The Lockheed D-21 was a Mach 3 + reconnaissance drone that was powered with a ramjet which was launched from a parent aircraft such as the Lockheed A-12.

At the beginning of World War II, Lockheed – under the guidance of Clarence ( Kelly ) Johnson, who is considered one of the best known American aircraft designers – answered a specification for an interceptor by submitting the P-38 Lightning fighter plane, a somewhat unorthodox twin-engine, twin-boom design.

All told, Lockheed and its subsidiary Vega produced 19, 278 aircraft during World War II, representing six percent of those produced in the war.

This gave Lockheed more than a year's head-start over other aircraft manufacturers in what was easily foreseen as the post-war modernisation of civilian air travel.

During the 1960s, Lockheed began development for two large aircraft: the C-5 Galaxy military transport and the L-1011 TriStar wide-body civil airliner.

In late 1975 and early 1976, a sub-committee of the U. S. Senate led by Senator Frank Church concluded that members of the Lockheed board had paid members of friendly governments to guarantee contracts for military aircraft.
