The Lockheed L-1011 TriStar was a wide-body tri-jet airliner that competed with the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 during the 1970s and 1980s. Known for its advanced technology and passenger comfort, the L-1011 featured three high-bypass turbofan engines and was one of the most sophisticated commercial aircraft of its era. The aircraft's distinctive feature was its center engine mounted in the tail section. With a length of approximately 54.17 meters (177 ft 8 in), a wingspan of 47.35 meters (155 ft 4 in), and a height of 16.87 meters (55 ft 4 in), the real L-1011 was designed for medium to long-range routes. This 1:500 scale model measures approximately 10.8 cm in length with a wingspan of about 9.5 cm.
