Lockheed L-1329 Jetstar 2
The Lockheed JetStar II was a quieter, more efficient development of the original JetStar, replacing its four small turbojets with Garrett turbofans. The change improved range and reduced the high noise levels associated with the earlier model while retaining the type’s distinctive low wing and rear engine installation. JetStar IIs were popular with corporate and government operators in the 1970s and 1980s. Their four-engine business-jet layout remains unique in the history of executive aviation.
