Lockheed Martin books first firm order for the LM-100J

At the Paris Air Show, Lockheed Martin announced that it had received a firm order for five LM-100J transports from an unidentified customer.

The LM-100J is the manufacturer’s new commercial version of the well-known Hercules military transport. The first LM-100J, which began its test flight program last month, is on display at the Paris Show.

In addition to this firm order, Lockheed Martin says it has booked “tentative commitments of 10 aircraft each from ASL Aviation Group and Brazil’s Bravo Industries.”
