Undoubtedly, Lockheed is more famous for their experience with military aircraft and space technology, but they have also produced a fair amount of civil aircraft during the mid 1900s. The Vega, Orion, Electra, Hercules and the glorious Constellation are good examples. The Lockheed L-1011 TriStar became the first civil jetliner produced by Lockheed and it also became the last when they announced the decision to withdraw from manufacturing civil aircraft in the early 1980s. The L-1011 became the second widebody jetliner to be launched, and though financial difficulties dogged the production, it went on to gain an excellent reputation in service for its reliability, economical efficiency and technology.
