What.....no reference to Lockheeds' finest......?
No need.
Next to my parked private twin engine airplane in Arizona, is a twin, owned by a retired Boeing design engineer.
He says, and I will quote...
'When we looked at the autopilot/systems integration on the L1011 in early 1973, we at Boeing then realised that we were well behind the design curve'.
Ha!
No surprise.
The Rollers were only a bonus.
The L1011....waaaay ahead of everyone else with aircraft systems
automation, and, even more important, aircraft systems REDUNDANCY.
For the average line pilot...absolute perfection.
