L1011 vs DC-10
How many people were killed by each aircraft. "The proof of the pudding is in the eating".
And what about the Swiss Air MD11 that went down in Canada?
Not one L-1011 loss was due to the aircraft design.
The LEDs locked down.
The floor had equalizing valves.
Control wires ran along the side (not under the floor)
DLC on approach, etc, etc, etc............
I agree. Re-engine and upgrade to glass, this would be the queen of the skies.
