Lockheed Advanced turboprop transport concepts

[hesham]

Hi,

here is an advanced turboprop transport aircraft concept of 1985.

I am familiar with that but cant remember at the moment what it is (probably from Lockheed). I am also sure that I have this drawing in colour. BTW the posted document is worth to download, because it contains a lot of pictures and drawings of various unusual transport planes (spanloaders, WIG, Lockheed Flatbed, etc..).

Yes my dear Matej,

I remembered that I sent a picture shows a Lockheed Model aircraft with turboprop
engines but I don't remember it now,it look like the first aircraft here;

Nice! It does give technical insights into certain areas and is worthwhile for the irresistibly ironic image below alone!

I'd caption it the An-700M

At the direction of Congress, a task force headed by NASA was organized in 1975 to identify potential fuel saving concepts for aviation. The result was the Aircraft Energy Efficiency (ACEE) Program implemented in 1976. An important part of the program was the development of advanced turboprop...

Lockheed Turboprop Cargo Aircraft Systems Study, November 1981 found on NTRS

Turboprop cargo aircraft systems study - NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS)

The effects of using advanced turboprop propulsion systems to reduce the fuel consumption and direct operating costs of cargo aircraft were studied, and the impact of these systems on aircraft noise and noise prints around a terminal area was determined. Parametric variations of aircraft and...

Lockheed Georgia study on Advanced Turboprop transport aircraft. From page 102 on, study for possible dual civil-military role for a Propfan transport aircraft. Configuration No.3 was modified to USAF's C-X specifications.

The artwork on the last page is very similar to the Lockheed 4-engined Propfan concept in Post 1.

Seems like Lockheed put a lot of effort in the Propfan concept, with the Cl-1320 RECAT, various Civil and Military transport conepts and the PTA testbed.
