Aeronautical chart on Lambert conformal conic projection with standard parallels at 33°N and 45°N. A Lambert conformal conic projection (LCC) is a conic map projection used for aeronautical charts, portions of the State Plane Coordinate System, and many national and regional mapping systems.
Most state plane zones are based on either a transverse Mercator projection or a Lambert conformal conic projection. The choice between the two map projections is based on the shape of the state and its zones. States that are long in the east–west direction are typically divided into zones that are also long east–west.

Simplified view of contiguous US UTM zones, projected with Lambert conformal conic. The UTM system divides the Earth into 60 zones, each 6° of longitude in width. Zone 1 covers longitude 180° to 174° W; zone numbering increases eastward to zone 60, which covers longitude 174°E to 180°.
In cartography, a conformal map projection is one in which every angle between two curves that cross each other on Earth (a sphere or an ellipsoid) is preserved in the image of the projection; that is, the projection is a conformal map in the mathematical sense. For example, if two roads cross each other at a 39° angle, their images on a map ...
Albers conic, which adjusts the north-south distance between non-standard parallels to compensate for the east-west stretching or compression, giving an equal-area map. Lambert conformal conic, which adjusts the north-south distance between non-standard parallels to equal the east-west stretching, giving a conformal map.
Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection of the world; standard parallel at 0° The Lambert (standard parallel at 0°, normal) cylindrical equal-area projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation. In cartography, the normal cylindrical equal-area projection is a family of normal cylindrical, equal-area map projections.
Conformal projections are generally preferred. Common map projections include the transverse Mercator (used in Universal Transverse Mercator, the British National Grid, the State Plane Coordinate System for some states), Lambert conformal conic (some states in the SPCS), and Mercator (Swiss coordinate system).
