The Lockheed Model 44 Excalibur was a proposed American airliner designed by Lockheed.[1]
Design and development
The Model 44 was the first four-engined design from the company[1], it was a low-wing monoplane with a retractable nose-wheel landing gear. Originally fitted with twin fins and rudders, the design ended up with three fins.[1] It was to be powered by four 1200hp Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasps. Pan American Airways were close to ordering the Excalibur when Lockheed abandoned the project and put all effort into the Model 49 Constellation that had been ordered by Trans World Airlines.[1]
