Lockheed L1011 TriStar 500 Long Range Widebody Airliner

Lockheed L-1011 TriStar 500 Long Range Widebody Airliner 
The Lockheed L-1011 TriStar is a Three Engine Medium- to Long- Range Widebody Jet Airliner for up to 400 passengers produced by the US-American manufacturer Lockheed Corporation.
The L-1011 TriStar 500 (L-1011-385-3) is a long-range variant with shortened fuselage (-4,11m / 13ft 6in) and a capacity of 
max. 315 passengers (typical 253). All other variants have a length of length 54,17m (177ft 8in) and a capacity of max. 400 passengers (typical 234). The TriStar was Lockheed's last Commercial Aircraft.

Much like the DC-10 (sans military involvement) the L1011 started with a request from American Airlines for a widebody 
Airliner smaller than a 747 that had similar, if not identical, range. The L1011, unlike its competitors, was a much more Optimized Design. 
Though mechanics and engineers disliked an engine being hidden in an S-duct in the aft fuselage behind the pressure bulkhead, it was more aerodynamically efficient. The Aircraft was one of the first to feature a truly independent  autoland system (it was, indeed, the first aircraft the FAA certified for Cat-III-C autolandings), even automated descent  control. This Aircraft was on the bleeding edge of technology. So advanced, in fact, that the original and long-term goals of  the L1011 were to manufacture it as a “ Jumbo Twin”.

McDonnell Douglas DC-10 Medium to Long Range Widebody Airliner



This Aircraft is Designed in response to the same American Airlines requirement as the Lockheed TriStar, the DC-10, despite a sometimes troubled past, was the more successful of the two widebody trijets. Although originally conceived as a twinjet, the DC-10 gained a third engine at the base of its vertical tail to meet an American Airlines requirement that the aircraft be capable of operating from existing runways.
The DC-10 subsequently was launched in February 1968 with orders from American and United. First flight took place on August 29 1970. The first anscontinental range DC-10-10s entered service with American in August 1971. By then work was already underway on the tercontinental range DC-10-30 which introduced more powerful engines, additional fuel tanks and a third main undercarriage unit.
Most DC-10s built were 30s (including convertible 30CFs and pure freight 30Fs), while the 40 is a Pratt & Whitney JT9D powered variant ordered by Northwest and JAL. The United States Air Force ordered 60 CF6 powered DC-10s as KC-10A Extender tanker Transports. A number of major and catastrophic accidents marred the DC-10's service record in the mid to late 1970s, but the various causes of these accidents were overcome and the DC-10 continues to operate reliably. Production ceased in 1989. The Boeing MD-10 conversion for Federal Express involves fitting DC-10s (both current freighters and "new" ex airliner freighter conversions) with a two crew Honeywell VIA 2000 EFIS flightdeck with six LCD screens.
The instrument panel layout is identical to that in the MD-11, and pilots can be qualified to fly the two interchangeably. First flight was on April 4 1999, while the first of 89 MD-10 conversions for FedEx was delivered on May 9 2000 (the same day the conversion was certificated). Boeing is offering the MD-10 conversion to other DC-10 operators.

DC-10-30 - Max speed 982km/h (530kt), max cruising speed 908km/h (490kt). Range with max fuel and no payload 

12,055km (6505nm), range with max payload 7415km (4000nm). DC-10-40 - Speeds same. Range with max fuel and no 

payload 11,685km (6305nm), range with max payload (& JT9D-59As) 7505km (4050nm).

Piper PA-28 Cherokee is a family of light Aircraft designed for Flight Training

The Piper PA-28 Cherokee is a family of light Aircraft designed for Flight Training, Air Taxi and personal use, built by Piper 

Aircraft.  All members of the PA-28 family are all-metal, unpressurized, four-seat, single-engine piston-powered airplanes with low-mounted wings and tricycle landing gear. All PA-28 aircraft have a single door on the co-pilot side, which is entered by stepping on the wing.

The first PA-28 received its type certificate from the FAA in 1960 and the series remains in production in 2009. Current 
models are the Arrow and Warrior III. The Archer was discontinued in 2009, but with investment from new Piper owners Imprimis, will be revived in 2010.


Competition for the PA-28 series include the Cessna 172, the Grumman American AA-5 series and the Beechcraft Musketeer.  Piper has created variations within the Cherokee family by installing engines ranging from 140 to 300 hp (105-220 kW), providing turbocharging, offering fixed or retractable landing gear, fixed-pitch or constant speed propellers, and stretching the fuselage to accommodate 6 people. The larger, six-seat variant of the PA-28 is generally the PA-32; earlier versions were known as the "Cherokee Six," and a PA-32 version is still in production today under the model name Saratoga.
