Course detail: History of Airplane Design: Lockheed and Martin

Dr. Jan Roskam will provide an overview of two of the industry's pioneering companies: Lockheed and Martin. He will discuss each company's contributions to the development of both military and commercial airplanes, from Lockheed's Skunk Works and their miracle airplanes to Martin's firsts, feats and failures.

Attend this webinar to learn more about:
  • How Lockheed translated their commercial success to aid the war effort.
  • The Lockheed 049 Constellation, which was later developed into the 1049 Super Constellation.
