The JetStar was the first dedicated private jet to enter service, as well as the only such airplane built by [[Lockheed Corporation|Lockheed]]. It was also one of the largest aircraft in the class for many years, seating ten plus two crew. It is distinguishable from other small jets by its four engines, mounted on the rear of the fuselage, and the "slipper"-style fuel tanks fixed to the wings.
