L1011

The Lockheed L-1011 TriStar was a wide-body, three-engine jet airliner developed in the 1970s to compete with the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and Boeing 747. Powered by three Rolls-Royce RB211-22 or RB211-524 turbofan engines, it was renowned for its advanced technology, including an autoland system and direct lift control, which provided smooth, precise landings. The L-1011 typically seated 250 to 400 passengers and had a maximum takeoff weight of 231,300 kg (510,000 lbs). With a cruising speed of 885 km/h (478 knots) and a range of up to 7,400 km (4,000 nautical miles), it served medium- and long-haul routes. Known for its quiet, comfortable cabin and innovative design, the TriStar became a favorite among airlines for its safety and reliability.
