MS-357, Lockheed-Martin Aeronautical Patent Collection

Collection Number: MS-357

Title: Lockheed-Martin Aeronautical Patent Collection
Dates: 1844-1988
Creator: Lockheed Martin Corporation
Summary/Abstract: The Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Patent Collection was developed by
the Lockheed Aircraft Company to provide a single source of information concerning aviationrelated patents in the United States. The collection spans a period beginning with the initial
experiments with balloons in 1844 to the aviation technologies developed through1988. The
collection is organized according to the United States Patent and Trademark Office 244 Class of
Aeronautics and Astronautics. The patents are filed in patent number order according to the subcategory class number assigned by the Patent Office.

Biographical/Historical Note
The Lockheed Martin Corporation can trace its roots back to the earliest days of modern
aviation. Glenn L. Martin established a company in 1909 that was a major airframe supplier to
the U.S. Military and commercial industries. Around the same time, Allan Loughead founded
the Lockheed Corporation, which also soon became a successful aircraft manufacturer. In 1995,
the two merged to form the Lockheed Martin Corporation. This collection of patents was
originally developed and maintained by the Lockheed Martin Corporation.
Scope and Content
The Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Patent Collection documents innovations in aviation from the
mid-19th century through most of the 20th century. These patents pertain to everything from
dirigibles and gliders to modern day jet engines and in-flight refueling methods. Researchers
who utilize these records can learn much about aviation before the first sustained and controlled
heavier-than-air flight and its advancements since. The collection is arranged into series based
on the original classification system for aeronautical patents by the United States Patent and
Trademark Office. Each patent is of the 244 class of aeronautics and astronautics and each series
is arranged according to the subcategory of this class. Within each subcategory, the files are
arranged according to patent number with the folder indicating the patent number range.
Series I, Miscellaneous, consist of patents pertaining to trailing devices, noise abatement
techniques, lightening arrester and static eliminators, as well as, composite aircraft.
Series II, Aircraft, Heavier-than-Air, contains patents that address weight diminished aircraft,
fluid sustained airplanes and helicopters, and dual propulsion means (horizontal and vertical).
Series III, Aircraft, Lighter-than-Air, houses patents on dirigibles, airships, and hot-air balloons
designs.
Series IV, Aircraft Sustentation, includes patents referring to sustaining airfoils. It also addresses
unique designs for fuselages and struts.
Series V, Aircraft Propulsion and Steering on Land or Water, is the largest series and houses
patents on everything from aircraft control and aircraft power plants, to steerable jets and
floatation devices for planes.

Series VI, Landing Gear, relates to different patents on the design and function of landing gears
for aircraft. Amphibian, retractable, coil spring, fluid pressure, and even inflatable landing gears
are all devised in this series.
Series VII, Retarding and Restraining Devices, contains patents relating to wheel brake
arrangement, water brake arrangement, and aerodynamic retarders.
Series VIII, Landing Field Arrangement, consists of patents on mooring devices and blast
deflectors for aircraft landing fields.
Series IV, Aircraft Structure, includes patents that address fuselage and body designs for cargo
accommodation, seating arrangement for crews, and also shield and other protective devices.
Patents relating to aerodynamic resistance reduction as well as airship hull and skin construction
are also found in this series.
Series X, Safety Lowering Devices, consists of patents relating to safely lowering an aircraft to
the ground in the case of an emergency. Parachutes for entire planes and passenger
compartments, as well as, safety devices for seats and crew are accommodated in this series.
Some patents on kites are also found in this series.
