The Lockheed CL-1200 Lancer was a late 1960s company-funded proposal for a fighter aircraft based on the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter. The CL-1200 was conceived and marketed mainly for and to non-US military services, as an export product. Lockheed CL-1200 (Lancer) / (X-27) Lightweight Jet-Powered Fighter / Interceptor Proposal [ 1970 ] Planned as a successor to the F-104 Starfighter, the Lockheed CL-1200 Lancer project advanced only as far as the mock-up stage before seeing cancellation.

The Lockheed CL-1201 was a design study by Lockheed for a giant 6,000 ton nuclear-powered transport aircraft in the late 1960s. One envisioned use of the concept was as an airborne aircraft carrier. [2] [3] Design The CL-1201 design project studied a nuclear-powered aircraft of extreme size, with a wingspan of 1,120 feet (340 m). [2] The plane became the short-lived CL-1200 "Lancer," a sleek supersonic jet that retained some design cues from the classic starfighter. Key changes include a longer span shoulder-mounted main wing (increasing surface area by more than 50%) and a larger tail surface for improved control and stability. The Lockheed CL-1200 Lancer was a late 1960s company-funded proposal for a new and improved Lockheed F-104 Starfighter. It was intended for the export market and was in direct competition with the Northrop F-5E Tiger II, Dassault Mirage F1, Northrop YF-17 and the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II.

CL-1201. The project would be dubbed the CL-1201, based on the aerodynamic research for the previous CL-1170 - but with extensively increased dimensions. The airframe would measure a wing span of 1120 feet, and be 560 feet long, giving the fuselage an interior space of 2 million cubic feet. A plane whose wingspan was 45 feet wider than the.

The CL-1200 concept, on which the Lancer was based, was developed as a private venture by Lockheed and entailed what amounted to a major redesign of the existing F-104 structure.
