- HISTORY ASPECTS:
- The Lockheed L-188 Electra, registered as N6118A and operated by American Airlines, holds a special place in the history of commercial aviation. This turboprop airliner, introduced in the late 1950s, represented a leap forward in terms of speed, comfort, and capacity. With its distinctive four-engine design and advanced technology, the Electra played a pivotal role in shaping the future of air travel and was a critical part of American Airlines' fleet during a time of significant change in the industry.
- After several attempts to launch a 4-engine airliner by Lockheed failed in the early to mid-1950's, an order for 35 L-188A Electras by American Airlines in June 1955 secured the start for this fine airplane. Shortly thereafter, an order came in in September 1955 for 40 aircraft for Eastern Air Lines. Powered by the same Allison 501-D engine as the already popular Lockheed C-130 military transport, the Electra was off to a good start and first flew in December 1957. Parallel to the Electra, the U.S. Navy saw huge potential in the aircraft and launched a military version of the type in the late 1950's, known as the P-3 Orion.
- The Lockheed L-188 Electra is regarded as one of the best airframes ever made and enjoyed many years of flying right into the jet age. In fact, the Electra could outperform many early jets that were introduced to replace the Electra. The Electra would go on to serve many airlines well into the 1970's and 80's. With increasing fuel costs, the Electra's 4 powerful engines would eventually force its demise as a passenger aircraft, but its robust airframe gave it a new lease on life, and most Electras were subsequently converted into freighter planes.
- N6118A's history with American Airlines is marked by its impact on passenger experience and the airline's commitment to innovation. The L-188 Electra provided travelers with a spacious cabin, large windows, and a smooth ride, making it a popular choice among passengers. American Airlines used the Electra on a variety of routes, both domestic and international, and it became an iconic part of the airline's fleet during the 1960s and 1970s.
- This replica captures the essence of the aircraft, from its unique design to the iconic livery. For those who appreciate the significance of the Electra in advancing air travel and American Airlines' dedication to passenger satisfaction, this 1:400 scale model is a must-have addition to any collection. Display it with pride and celebrate the innovation, comfort, and legacy of American Airlines in the world of commercial aviation.
