When the L-1011 was new (or the DC-10 and 747) air travel was completly different (and many will say better) than it is today. So seat pitch in first class was 42″ in coach it was 34″. So there was six abrest seating in first class, in coach there was only eight. The price difference between first and coach was not eight to ten times as much as coach, as it is now, but at the most twice as much. In both first and coach you got a hot meal, but the meal in first was always larger with a greater selection. With a first class ticket you got access to a lounge prior to departure, where free food and drinks were served. Frist class boarded last and was the first off. I could go on and on.
Where would you put this “body gear” that would not impinge on the cargo compartment?
That first one is an A-5A.
And better looking than the second!
Well done! You can add XT-RAD and XT-BRK.:)

* There are plans to convert the Orbital Science L-1011-100 to a -200.
Then it stands to reason they wouldn’t fit inside C-17s either. :rolleyes: The point is that no, the C-5s role hasn’t gone away.
You would think that since the C-5 has been around since the early 1970’s, all the military equipment since that time would be designed so it could be transported by the C-5.
The Trinidad and Tobago Air Force!
At the end of its career the only markings of the SR-71’s carried were the serial number on the vertical stabilizers. Not even a national insignia.
Can you clarify your statement?:confused: As I understand it, Rolls Royce (Allison Division) are doing work for the US government and the owners of the company, RR, don’t know what their employees are doing or aren’t allowed to use the knowledge that they are producing.:confused:
All US military programs are on a “need to know” basis. If Rolls Royce management does not have a “need to know” what its Allision Division is doing, then it can not be told.
The kind of things they would “need to know” are the budget for the program and the number of people working on the program. But they do not “need to know” about the nature of the program.
Flaps are not control surfaces.
They come under Chapter 27 Flight Controls (27-51-00). They are flight controls. They are also called Lift Augmentation or Secondary Flight Controls.
Please show me any aircraft that went into USAF inventory that started with an X designation? Many/all aircraft had the Y designation (for prototype). The only intended operational aircraft I can remember that started with X are the JSF (X-32, X-35).
The first XB-70 could hit Mach 3, not trouble free though. But for operational use 10 pre-series aircraft were planned. The B-58 used 15 pre-series aircraft!
Where to start:
XP-58B Airacobra
XP-80 Shooting Star
XP-84 Thunderjet
XF-84F Thunderstreak
XP-86 Saber Jet
XF-89 Scorpion
XF-104 Starfighter
XF-105A Thunderchief
XF2H-1 Banshee
XF3H-1 Demon
XF4D-1 Skyray
XF8U-1 Crusader
XF3D-1 Skyknight
I got tired so I didn’t look up any bombers.
that is 400 version I needed.
thanks in advance
I have checked through my L-1011 material and can’t locate my -400 brochure, but from memory the -400 was a further shortened -500. My best guess would be to use a L-1011-500 three view, but remove 6 feet forward of the wing and three feet aft of the wing. The wings would be the same.
I guess they were wrong when they said “you can’t polish a turd”.
BTW some thing in the back of my mind is telling me that some 767-200 were built with only two over wing exits. Am I wrong????

Just one post before yours, I posted all the possible combination of doors and exits available on the 767-200/300, didn’t you read it?
An extra exit doesn’t really fall within that particular strategy… :p
The number of passengers allowed is controled by the number and type of exit available:
767-200, max pax 255 with 2 pair Type A doors and 1 pair Type III doors.
767-200, max pax 290 with 2 pair Type A doors and 2 pair Type III doors.
767-300, max pax 290 with 2 pair Type A doors and 2 pair Type III doors.
767-300, max pax 290 with 3 pair Type A doors and 1 pair Type III doors.
767-300, max pax 351 with 3 pair Type A doors and 1 pair Type 1 doors.
767-300F, 2 crew + 4 persons, 1 floor lever exit and interia reels in flight station.
As of July 2007 N306GB was still stored in Miami.
The first four (4) Gulf L-1011’s were delivered with UK registrations and the last three (3) were delivered with US registrations. The only reason I could see for delivering them with different registrations is that they may have been leased until the final financing completed. As soon as all financing was completed the registrations were changed. Just a theory
