The tritailed four-engine Constellation, originally developed by Lockheed for use by the armed services, was first adapted for passenger service by Eastern in 1947. The 1950s "Super Constellation" was an upgrade. The "Connie" held seventy-two seats in its pressurized cabin and cruised at 327 miles per hour.
