Meet Lockheed L-1011 TriStar
The L-1011 joined the first generation of wide-body airliners after the Boeing 747 and DC-10. Its three Rolls-Royce RB211 engines include a centre engine supplied through an S-shaped intake above the rear fuselage. Automatic landing and descent-control capability were notable parts of the design. Cabin layouts and range depend on the TriStar version.
