The Lockheed Electra aircraft, designed in the mid-1950s, first took flight in 1957 and entered service in 1959 with various US airlines. These planes served major airlines until the mid-1970s when they were sold to regional carriers, charter airlines, and cargo freight companies. Initially seating 66 passengers, their capacity increased to 99 over time. Fuel efficient and boasting an impressive safety record, these aircraft were powered by four Allison Turboprops with 13-foot diameter propellers, making them the fastest turboprop airliners ever produced and capable of beating jet airliner times on certain routes. A November 2010 model was built near to scale and features fully textured exteriors, animatable flaps, ailerons, rudder, elevators, and propellers. The landing gear can be retracted and doors closed. This version boasts high-quality textures and materials, replacing the earlier 2006 model. It also includes detailed interior features such as the cockpit, cabin, and galley with a generic seating arrangement for 66 passengers. This 7-format downloadable model is fully textured and detailed, featuring blue seating and a gray carpeted floor in the cabin, as well as overhead racks, lavatory bulkheads, and doors. It's an efficient, safe, and impressive aircraft with a fascinating history and continued legacy.
