The Lockheed Orion was the fastest commercial aircraft of its time – more than twice as fast as all its competitors and faster than any fighter. The Orion was the first civil aircraft with retractable undercarriage.
Swissair was the only airline in Europe to use this plane. The plane on display is the sole surviving example out of 35 built.
