The Lockheed CL-1170 was a six-month aircraft design study conducted by the CALAC for the United States Navy to explore technological and operational issues related to a possible very long-endurance patrol and ASW aircraft. The study produced two BWBs, one of which was the 1170-6-2.
The design consisted of four composite engines, most likely powered by a nuclear reactor. The surface area of the wings would be 5000 square feet.
Not much is known about it because it hasn't been released on the FAA registry[1] or List of Lockheed aircraft, nor are there many sources that say anything about the CL-1170. It's mentioned briefly on a foundandexplained[2][3] page about the CL-1201. except they all seem to agree it was a precursor to the CL-1201[4]
