Tthe Lockheed Model 10 Electra to amerykański dwusilnikowy, całkowicie metalowy jednopłatowy samolot pasażerski opracowany przez Lockheed Aircraft Corporation w 1930 roku, aby konkurować z Boeingiem 247 i Douglasem DC-2.

Tthe Lockheed Model 10 Electra played a significant role in the development of commercial aviation. It was known for its speed, comfort, and reliability. However, its limited passenger capacity (10 passengers) made it less attractive to airlines compared to larger aircraft like the Douglas DC-3. Despite this, the Electra found success in other roles, such as military transport, private aviation, and record-setting flights. One of the most famous Electras was the one flown by Amelia Earhart on her ill-fated around-the-world flight in 1937. The Lockheed Model 10 Electra’s innovative design and technological advancements paved the way for future generations of aircraft, solidifying Lockheed’s reputation as a leader in aviation innovation.
