The 1954 Super Constellation flying-radar version

 


The radar Super Constellation picket plane is an extremely vital unit for U.S. protection. It can warn the nation hours earlier of enemy air attack, because it has long range, high speed, plus more than six tons of electronic intelligence packed in radomes as big as swimming pools (picture above).

Worldțs fastes propeller-driven airplane is the U. S. Navy variant of the Super Constellation. It is capable of speeds of 100 mph, faster than any propeller-driven airplane in service in 1954. It is powered by Pratt&Whitney T-34 turbo-propeller engines. (image below).
