The Lockheed L-1011 TriStar was a wide-body trijet airliner that entered service in the 1970s, competing with the Douglas DC-10. Known for its advanced technology and smooth flight characteristics, the L-1011 featured a distinctive third engine mounted in the tail. The aircraft had a typical length of approximately 54.17 m (177 ft 8 in), wingspan of 47.34 m (155 ft 4 in), and height of 16.87 m (55 ft 4 in). BWIA (British West Indian Airways) operated the TriStar on routes connecting the Caribbean to North America and Europe, making it a flagship aircraft in their fleet during the 1980s and 1990s.
