Sorry, ASFKAP, no particular knowledge with that mob.
Lets face it, the 'ole L1011 was the first...
Widebody to operate to CATIIIB, straight from the factory...
First widebody with a proper FMS, that incorporated engine thrust management and VNAV, all in one neat little (big) box(es), courtesy of Hamilton Sundstrand, and...
provided an unmatched approach/land automatic landing capability (dual/dual/fail operational) that is the GOLD standard, even today.
Ha!
All the rest, at the time, trailed far
far behind, make no mistake.
Is the TriStar unique now?
No, other types have ahhhh...caught up.
Finally.
Is the 'ole L1011 a true 'pilots aeroplane?
You bet...just like its forerunner, the Electra.
Superb!
Forget to add...the first widebody certificated for stange III ops, at all weights.
Thanks to the RR engines, which are quite good in revenue service.
TriStar, yes complicated, but for the airline that sent their folks for PROPER training, a cinch.
BA... back of the line....apparently.
