Lockheed L-1011 TriStar
The L-1011 TriStar is an American medium-to-long-range, widebody trijet airliner that first flew on November 16, 1970, and entered service in April 1972 with Eastern Airlines. However, engine development problems and the financial difficulties of Rolls-Royce delayed the TriStar’s entrance into service by two years, allowing the McDonald Douglas DC-10 to gain the upper hand.
The Tristar utilised advanced technology for the time, one of which allowed it to be the first widebody airliner certified for blind autolanding. Production ended in 1984 with 250 airframes built. The British Royal Air Force operated nine of the type, designated K.1, KC.1 and C.2.
The flight crew consists of two pilots and a flight engineer, and the passenger cabin seats up to 300, depending on the variant. It is powered by three Rolls-Royce RB211 high-bypass axial-flow turbofan engines, one pylon mounted under each wing and the third in the rear of the fuselage, air fed via an S-duct embedded in the tail and upper fuselage.
