Lockheed Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lockheed had hired underworld figure Yoshio Kodama as a consultant in order to influence Japanese airlines to purchase the L-1011 aircraft instead of the competing Douglas DC-10. The Lockheed Constellation was developed during World War II and served as both a civilian airliner and a military transport. Lockheed Corporation (originally Loughead) was an aerospace company originally founded in 1912 which merged with Martin Marietta in 1995 to form Lockheed Martin. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Lockheed   (1158 words)

Lockheed L-1011 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lockheed bribed the Japanese government to subsidize ANA's purchase of L-1011s, and the resulting political scandal led to the arrest of Prime Minister Tanaka Kakuei. The Lockheed L-1011 TriStar was the third widebody passenger jet airliner to reach the marketplace, following the Boeing 747 and the Douglas DC-10. In the 1960s, American Airlines approached Lockheed and competitor Douglas with a need for an aircraft smaller than the existing 747, but still capable of flying to distant locales such as London and Latin America from company hubs in Dallas/Ft Worth and New York. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Lockheed_L-1011   (1220 words)

PBS - Chasing the Sun - Lockheed L1011 Lockheed had hoped to secure sales to American Airlines, whose request launched the L-1011's design, but American eventually passed on the L-1011 in favor of the Douglas DC-10. Lockheed chose Rolls Royce's new RB211 turbofans to power the L-1011. The steep decline in air travel in the 1970s caused Lockheed and Douglas to fight a bitter war for sales of their nearly identical planes. www.pbs.org /kcet/chasingthesun/planes/l1011.html   (468 words)

L-1011 History Lockheed's L-1011 was refined and became the L-1011-385 with a 175 ft (53 m)-long fuselage enabling seating for 250, and a capability of operating economically from La Guardia's 7,000 ft (2,100 m) runway to Chicago with three 37,000-pound-thrust (165 kN) engines. Lockheed needed to sell 24 aircraft per year between 1985 and 1990 to make the L-1011 program viable, but depression in the commercial airliner market that was not expected to improve until at least 1986 made these levels extremely hard to sustain. Lockheed was anxious to produce a true long-range model, as the range capability of the L-1011-200 still could not match that of the DC-10-30. flytristar.tripod.com /page/history.html   (10914 words)

L-1011 Tristar History During 1966, Lockheed was matched with Boeing in a federal competition that was the mirror image of the one in 1965. Lockheed would receive a triple blow: a massive overrun, a set of prices charged to airlines that would bring further losses on each sale, and penalties payable to the airlines for late delivery. In addition to this, Lockheed already was deep in hock, having drawn $350 million from a $400-million credit line held by a syndicate of its banks. www.globalsecurity.org /military/systems/aircraft/l-1011-history.htm   (3191 words)

Building the TriStar A typical one is Lockheed's relationship with Avco Aerostructures Division in Nashville, Tennessee, committed initially to build 350 sets of wings for the L-1011, including tooling for which Lockheed contracted to pay a whopping big $575 million. Lockheed California President Robert A. Furhman stated "This building is big enough to turn out aircraft twice the size of the L-1011.

Lockheed TriStar Pictorial - www.sarimage.com The Lockheed L-1011 TriStar was designed in the late 1960's in an attempt to compete with the Boeing 747 and the McDonnell-Douglas DC-10 for the "jumbo jet" sector of the commercial airliner market. Air Sweden SE-DPP (Lockheed serial number 1221) was one of two L1011-100 models ordered just before this carrier went bankrupt and ceased operations in 1993. With the stated interest of US carriers in a high-capacity domestic airliner, Lockheed launched development of its first commercial jet in 1968. www.sarimage.com /Aviation/TriStar   (749 words)

The PSA History/Oldtimers Page After looking at the A300 and DC-10, PSA returned to Lockheed for the L-1011, with a new order in 1972 for five aircraft - two to be delivered in 1974, and one each for 1975, 1976, and 1977. The two remaining PSA aircraft were leased in 1978 back to Lockheed, then subleased to AeroPeru pending delivery of new L-1011-500s. Lockheed sued PSA for breach of contract, and PSA countersued. www.psa-history.org /hangar/l10.php   (515 words)

L-1011 Tristar The Lockheed L-1011 and the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 are wide-body transports in a weight class between that of the 707 and the very heavy 747. Development of the Lockheed L-1011 Tristar began in 1966 when American Airlines announced a need for a short to medium-range, large-capacity transport. The method of mounting the rear engine is seen to be quite different on the L- 1011 and the DC-10. www.globalsecurity.org /military/systems/aircraft/l-1011.htm   (1449 words)

Website Guide The Lockheed L-1011 TriStar is also known as one of the most trouble-free jetliners ever built and even now after over 30 years since it first entered service, the TriStar has not had any serious accidents that have been attributed to mechanical faults yet. The Lockheed L-1011 (L1011) TriStar is a widebody trijet airliner that was launched in March 1968 in response to an American Airlines requirement (though they never operated the type) for a large capacity, short-to-medium range jetliner capable of taking off from smaller busy airports in the US.

VWvortex Forums: These pics made me cry.... That car was a complete write off.....have a close look at the A pillar....from what I understand, the car was parked on a main road, the driver opened the door and I guess an oncoming vehicle hit the door and ripped it from the vehicle. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck. I want the electronic servo vents...for those who aren't familiar...the Phaeton utilizes 4 Zone Climatronic, however the vents open and close electronically and control air flow based on input from the driver. forums.vwvortex.com /zerothread?id=1891157   (1760 words)

AVSIM Commercial Review - Briefing time Perfect Flight's Lockheed L-1011 'Fly the Tristar' can be downloaded or the CD version ordered from their website; the price is 24,00 Euros or approx. And though quite successful initially, Lockheed and its engine supplier Rolls-Royce lacked the resources to sustain increasing competition from Boeing—Lockheed's legendary role as a pioneer and producer of commercial transports – especially their earlier L-1049 Constellation – ended in 1984 after having delivered 250 TriStars. I was especially interested in reviewing Perfect Flight's TriStar because I had been a manufacturing engineer at Lockheed shortly before this plane was developed and so had followed its fortunes—which are well documented in the PF User Guide. www.avsim.com /pages/0905/l-1011_tristar/fly_the_tristar.html   (2734 words)
