The Lockheed L-1011
TriStar, commonly referred to as
the L-1011 (pronounced "ell-ten-eleven") or TriStar, is a
medium-to-long range widebody passenger jet airliner.
It was the third widebody passenger jet airliner to enter
service, following the Boeing 747 and the McDonnell-
Douglas DC-10.
Like the DC-10, the
TriStar is a three-engine jet airliner.
However Lockheed staked the project on using the
British Rolls-Royce RB211 engine, and when Rolls-Royce
went bankrupt in 1970 due to development costs and
unrealistic pricing this caused a delay in the project
which proved commercially fatal.
Between 1968 and 1984,
Lockheed manufactured a total
of 250 TriStars, less than half that of its principal
competitor the DC-10. The Tristars failure to achieve
profitability caused Lockheed to withdraw from the
commercial aircraft business.
