The Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation is a four-engine propeller-driven aircraft that was first introduced in the late 1940s. It is known for its distinctive triple-tail design and long fuselage, which allowed it to carry more passengers and cargo than earlier models. The Super Constellation was primarily used for commercial airline service and military transport. With a maximum capacity of around 100 passengers, the Super Constellation became popular among airlines for transcontinental and transatlantic flights. Its advanced aerodynamics and powerful engines provided improved performance and fuel efficiency, making it a significant aircraft in the history of aviation.
