    Interesting facticle: The L-1011 had a system called Direct Lift Control, which meant the plane could change its descent rate whilst on the glide slope using only the spoilers, rather than changing pitch and thrust setting. It was supposed to make for a smoother approach although not usable if the wind was anything more than light.
    Second facticle: The first aircraft in commercial service that had autoland capability was the Hawker Siddley Tristar.
    Was a very enjoyable plane to fly on, I flew a couple of times on it across the Atlantic.

    I like how he said it wasn’t favorable. The L-1011 was too advanced for its time and maintenance heavy. It also lacked engine alternatives to the RB211. I agree, it’s sad that it wasn’t a successful plane. However, it did contribute a ton to modern aircraft.

    The L1011 is my favorite 70s plane, But it hurts that failure, It's impressive how an aircraft from that era could be so advanced, but being the direct competition of the DC 10 which was totally a success, I can't do anything. I think the L1011 is an underrated plane.

    If I remember correctly one of the things that set the L1011 behind the DC10 in sales was that Rolls Royce was in dire financial straits and fell behind schedule developing the engines. Since the whole tail concept was designed around the RB211, no off-the-shelf engine would fit, so Lockheed had no choice but to wait for the RB211 to be ready.
