DC-10

Then it makes one wonder how the Tristar fared in comparison to DC-10.

Tristar was delayed because they bankrupted Rolls-Royce by developing a suitable engine.

No other trijet bankrupted their engine manufacturer... Boeing 727 did not, Dassault Falcon did not, DC-10 did not...

What was so difficult about the Tristar engine?
