The Lockheed CL-760 was a proposed American light attack and observation aircraft designed by Lockheed in the 1960s for the United States military's Light Armed Reconnaissance Aircraft program. It was a twin-turboprop counter-insurgency aircraft with high speed and good ground attack performance, powered by two 600 shaft horsepower Garrett T76 turboprops. It had a hollow fuselage able to carry eight infantrymen, side blisters holding the landing gear and four 7.62 millimetre machine guns, and a cockpit with seats for two pilots. It had a wingspan of 30 feet, an empty weight of 5,106 pounds, a loaded weight of 9,270 pounds and a top speed of 325 miles per hour, and at least one prototype was built as a demonstrator. It was the most compact and fastest of the entries and the Navy praised its helicopter carrier operation, but its cargo capacity was too small and the contract went to the North American OV-10 Bronco.
