The first globally known and purpose-built business jet is considered to be the Lockheed JetStar. Even so, many governments around the world utilized this jet for military operations. Lockheed originally designed the JetStar to win a contract that was eventually canceled by the United States Air Force (USAF). However, the company decided to continue its development after the contract was canceled and wanted to eventually bring the jet to market in the business industry. The JetStar would be the only dedicated business jet that Lockheed developed.
