- The Lockheed L-188 was a turboprop passenger aircraft manufactured by Lockheed Corporation of the United States.
- First flight was in 1957.
- Her nickname is Electra.
- The L-188 was developed as a replacement for reciprocating passenger aircraft and as a stopgap until jet passenger aircraft became fully operational, but the introduction of jet passenger aircraft progressed more rapidly than expected, making it obsolete by the time it was put into service. In addition, a series of crashes after its launch led to bad publicity, and as a countermeasure, performance had to be reduced, which dealt a major blow to sales. It was completely unable to compete with medium-range jet aircraft, and production was discontinued after just four years.
- The P-3 Orion anti-submarine patrol aircraft is a modified version of this aircraft design, and has been introduced to the military forces of various countries, including the U.S. Navy and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, with great success.
