Seems like Lockheed gets all the defense contracts these days... Agreed. There are of course more than two companies making passenger aircraft but there are only two making larger passenger aircraft. Would be nice to see Lockheed back in, perhaps they're still bitter from being outbid by Douglas's inferior version of a tri-star?

Christopher Digital Illusion should maybe be counted over Tupolev, if you really want to be technical there are a course many more aircraft manufacturers but I'm counting widebodies. Only a few have gotten to that level in passenger aircraft. Antonov deserves a rightful place in larger aircraft as well, they are after all still the world record holders.

When I first started flying in the early 80's I remember being on a lot of DC-9's, 727's and 737-2's and then one day I was on a DC-10, it was a whole different world inside, fascinating to be in a machine that big that would actually fly. Then I remember my first flight on an L-1011. It was a quieter, seemingly wider, noticeably higher tech, more comfortable and definitely cooler looking version of a DC-10.. I didn't know much about planes when I was that age but even then I could tell I was on an exceptional aircraft. From then on, I when I traveled by air, I always wanted the plane to be a big L-1011 but it rarely ever was. My last time flying on one was in 1995 via Delta. I've since flown on just about every widebody passenger jet out there today but I'd love to ride on the L-10 one more time if I could....

It's opinion that makes the horses race, fellas. As far as design aesthetics go, the center engine's inlet on the L1011 comes out way too far over the fuselage, the rear wheels seem too spread apart compared to other leviathans, and the nose looks rather dated - did Convair have a say in its nose/window design? No airline wide body manufacturer has/had better front ends than McDonnell-Douglass. Compare the profile and front end of a DC-10/MD-11 with an L1011 or 747 to see what I mean. Lockheeds look old, and Boeings look boring. :)

The Lockheed Tristar was my favorite of all the early "jumbo jets". I flew on a TWA L1011 on an overnight flight to London. I remember sitting in the real cabin thinking about the enormous air scoop just a few feet above my head. I think it is quite possibly the most elegant of the early large transports. The one in this video looks like a private plane. The fillet below the central intake and the shortened fuselage make this one a L-1011-500 the long range model.

***** You are so right... The silhouette is the only thing it shared with the DC-10. The engine-mounting, the doors, the galleys, the Direct Lift Control, the quiet, the CAT3C auto-landing, and fuselage panels bonded together in a giant autoclave that saved the weight and stress-cracking of thousands of rivets! I think there is only 1 fatal event in its 40+ year career that was attributable to the aircraft itself.
@MKTTransportVideos

Wtf Happened Even the silhouette is pretty different to the DC-10 - the L1011 has an S-bend arrangement on the third engine as opposed to the straight through layout on the DC-10 and MD-11. The Boeing 727 has a more similar layout to the L1011.

From both my pilot and passenger side as well as the aviation nut section of my brain, the Tri-Side is the best looking and most advanced widebody, as well the 757 wins the narrowbody sweepstakes. Everything from the wide doors that could handle two abreast to the dimming windows and comfortable seats the L-1011 was way ahead of its time. The 757 is the favorite aircraft of many pilots who refer to it as the Sportscar of airliners. It can climb out without needing “steps” to burn off fuel before continuing its ascent. It needs far less runway to takeoff than the 737 or 320

I had the privilege and honor of flying in a L-1011 in 1998 from Toronto Canada to Athens Greece onboard Air Transat... Probably my most memorable flight... That sounds and that awesome cruising speed! ... I've done that flight countless times and that L1011 still holds the record at 8 hours 54 minutes. The L1011 symbolized the golden era of flying, when flying held a certain prestige when every seat was cushioned for total comfort and had an ashtray and the airline food was actually good, because we lived in better times.... Seems like planes are getting slower and alot more uncomfortable with these transit bus style seats, all they care about is profits. Make the seats smaller, less leg room, jam as many seats into an aircraft as possible, charge an arm and a leg for baggage, serve disgusting barely eatable food, charge extra for drinks and then fly slow... There was a time people hoped their flights were longer because they enjoyed being on the plane... Now people can't wait to get off the plane.... How sad.

First time I flew on one was going to Bermuda in 75. We stayed in the Hilton right off Jfk. We got in about dark the night before, took a cab for what seemed like 30 min. We ate and went to bed. I didn't change the time on my watch and the next morning we were an hour late because of it. We got a cab and took the 5 min ride to the airport. I really am glad we got screwed or we wouldn't have made it. We were running through the airport like OJ did. He had just started doing the Hertz commercials. Well, I saw this big tail and the engine and the first thing I think of is a 727. It makes no sense to me why they would fly a 727 to Bermuda but what do I know. When I got off the jetway into the plane It was so damn nice. It was the first wide body I had flown on and always holds kind of a special spot.

I wrote to Delta, and they responded that they didn't mean to imply they were the quietest INSIDE but rather they were the quietest OUTSIDE. Nevertheless, they were beautiful aircraft and far out shone the DC10 in the looks department.
