The original prototype Constellation was converted to the prototype L-1049 Super Constellation and flew in varied test programs. The aircraft was fitted with an Allison 501D turboprop in the number 4 engine position during the Electra development program. During the testing period Lockheed employees referred to the aircraft as the "Elation", a combination of the names Electra / Constellation. Photo fromLockheed Aircraft Corp.
