The Lockheed L-2000 was Lockheed Corporation's entry in a government-funded competition to build the United States' first supersonic airliner in the 1960s. The L-2000 lost the contract to the Boeing 2707, but that competing design was ultimately canceled for political, environmental and economic reasons.

2021年3月5日 · While one was the Boeing 2707, the other was the Lockheed L-2000. In this article, we'll take a look at the latter and its design characteristics. According to the BBC, it was President John F Kennedy that brought the United States into the supersonic passenger jet race, deciding that America would develop its own rival to the European Concorde.

2021年5月9日 · Lockheed L-2000. Lockheed had been working on a SST design since 1958, before the contest, with a creation that could fly cruise speeds of around 2,000 miles per hour (3,200 km/h) with takeoff and landing speeds just like a …

The Lockheed L-2000, shown in the first image as a wooden mockup, would have had a 4,000 mile range and Mach 3 cruise speeds. It featured a double delta wing design for swift transonic acceleration and excellent low-speed handling qualities.

The Lockheed Model 2000 was designed to carry between 258 and 273 passengers in five-abreast seating over distances of at least 6440 km at a cruising speed of Mach 2.7.

2021年10月27日 · The L-2000 was of a compound delta design, with podded engines, and looked much more like Concorde than the swing-wing Boeing design. Lockheed chose the fixed-delta wing as they believed that, thanks to the mechanism needed for the swing-wing design, that it would be simply too heavy.

An exploded view of the Lockheed L-2000 SST project from the 1960’s. This was the second-place finisher in the contest to develop a US supersonic transport, losing to the Boeing 2707.
