This page, as noted in the comment of my edit, is woefully incomplete. My vision for this page is to list every single model number used by Lockheed for identifying all of their aircraft, from the original Vega to the F-117, at least, before the company merged with Martin Marietta. I also intend to find the first flight of all of these aircraft, even if the separate article for these aircraft do not mention them. Willy Logan 05:45, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

I've filled this list in to the best of my ability, and I think it lists every aircraft between 1927 and 1995. I still need to find dates of the first flight for many of these aircraft. Willy Logan 23:18, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] F-35

added F-35 JSF


Be advised Lockheed used several different designation systems, including the "Basic Model Number", the one starting at 1, up to 99, which could be modified into the "Modified Basic Model Number" - which included the version by prefixing the BMN with extra digits (as shown with your Lightning overview), but also several other ranges like the CL- prefixed designations - which probably are more design studies; the commercial designations (like L-100 for the Hercules or L-1011 for the TriStar); the "remainder" including the L-140, which later became the L-80 series (P-80/F-80/T-33 etc) or L-188 Electra. It is not always clear in which system a given designation belongs.

[edit] F-35

Can we have a consensus on this? The List of Lockheed aircraft is meant for aircraft designs predating the Lockheed/Martin merger. The F-35, which first flew last year, is descended from the X-35, which dates back to the Joint Strike Fighter contract signed in 1996, after the Lockheed/Martin merger in 1995. So the F-35 in no way is a Lockheed product; it is distinctly Lockheed Martin.

I'm leaving the F-35 on the list right now because I don't want to start a revert war. Willy Logan 18:07, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
