What Happened to Lockheed’s ‘Flying Fortress’ Attack Carrier the The CL-1201?
Mysteriously mothballed and memory-holed
21 NEWS WIRE
One of the most audacious military undertakings in history – mysteriously mothballed, and memory-holed. What really happened to this incredible ‘flying fortress’ aircraft carrier?
Mustard reports…
In 1969 Lockheed produced one of the most unusual design studies in existence. The study sought to determine the potential uses and capabilities that the largest aircraft technically feasible using 1960’s era technology could offer the United States.
The result was the Lockheed CL-1201, a nuclear-powered aircraft with an enormous 1,120 foot wingspan and a weight about fifteen times heavier than the next largest aircraft in existence.
Although Lockheed’s concept is now widely known by aviation enthusiasts, Lockheed’s original study is nowhere to be found, having either been lost or destroyed. Currently, the best source of information about the CL-1201 is a paper published for the 1982 AIAA 2nd International Very Large Vehicles Conference which references several aspects of the original report.

So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
