phillyslasher Thanks, it was superior to the DC-10 and if the two planes had not been launched at the same time or if , , , well there were a lot of factors that kept it from being a successful type. RR, for one. It was a beautiful aircraft. I had the good luck of having rode in one in an overnight flight to London.

I go back and forth between the L1011 and Dc-10 in terms of looks. The L1011 was way more reliable and the engines definitely sounded more refined. It's too bad planes are so boring and quiet nowadays.

I think there is a case for 3 jet engined airline planes to come back into service. The A380, A340 and B747 are sometimes having trouble filling their planes by at least 80%. To break even, you usually need 65% full, and a decent profit, 85%. Since engines are the most expensive part of the plane to maintain, 3 engines would be cheaper to maintain than 4. A plane to carry 350-380 people is the ideal load of a booking for one airplane. The Lookheed TriStar was the ideal airplane for the North Atlantic routes. And even back then, they were quite fuel efficient

When and why did Hong Kong change from VR-xxx aircraft registration to B-xxx?
@ThePolishGuy198910 жыл бұрын
If you're still interested, aircraft registered in British colonies and overseas territories use two letter prefixes starting with V (ex: Bermuda's VP-B** registrations). When Hong Kong's sovereignty was transferred from Great Britain to China (PRC) in 1997, aircraft registered with the VR- prefix were re-registered with the B- prefix used in the PRC. It is worth noting that while aircraft registered in the PRC proper contain the B- prefix followed by 4 numbers, aircraft registered in Hong Kong have the B- prefix followed by 3 letters, a remnant from the British system. Some countries retained the system in its entirety after independence from Great Britain (like India with its VT-*** registrations).

Today's commercial airline industry will no longer permit three-engine wide-bodies like the class of the DC-10's, MD-11's or the L1011's. Their prowess and beauty are unquestionable, yet their operating cost wouldn't tolerate all our wishes that they'd come back to the sky. Thus, what we have is the today and future realities: the twin-engine giants such as B777 or B787, or the four-engine super giants like A380 and B747-8 (the four-engine giant, like A340, is a big failure commercially). Fuel consumption does matter!

Will more bet on insurance cost of those planes in pax config and/or very bad public image of them. (in fact links between power and number of engines is complet bullshit)
@javacup9128 жыл бұрын
+Edi Utama I think it's more politics than economics. The cost of maintaining an ETOPS fleet to fly the same routes of three engine aircraft is very closely equal the cost of keeping the trijets, which obviously were not restricted by ETOPS requirements. The added safety of being able to substantial better safety margin when an engine failed, cannot be overemphasize. Of course, the 3-engine airplanes provided a training/transition environment by pilots as many (including myself) started in the flight engineer position,
