About BAC 111
BAC 111 aircraft, photo wallpapers: The BAC 1-11, or One-Eleven, was a short-range jet airliner designed by Hunting Aircraft and produced by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) after Hunting was merged with several other British aviation firms in 1960. The 1-11 was designed to replace the successful Vickers Viscount on its existing routes with British European Airways (BEA) and other operators. The 1-11 was the second short-haul jet airliner to enter service, the first being the famous Sud Caravelle, but due to its later entry date the 1-11 was able to take advantage of greatly improved engine fuel economy and was less expensive to operate. This made it moderately popular, with a launch-customer list including over half of the sales to the United States, with an eventual production run of well over 200. The 1-11 was one of the most successful British airliner designs, and served from its introduction in the early 1960s until its widespread retirement in the 1990s due to noise restrictions.
In the mid-1950s British European Airways (BEA) started looking for a jet-powered 600mph design to replace its successful, but somewhat slow, Vickers Viscounts then in service. Vickers and Hunting both started design work on such a plane in 1956, the Vickers being a 140-seat downsizing of their existing VC-10 design effort then underway as the VC-11, while Hunting's design was an all-new design for 107 seats. In 1960 Hunting was merged with Vickers, Bristol, and English Electric to form BAC. In 1961 BAC management decided to continue work on the then-stalled 1-11 project with internal funding. The short delay was to prove advantageous, as the design was able to use the Rolls-Royce Spey turbofan engines for greatly increased fuel economy. BAC was concerned the aircraft was too large to fit the Viscount role in the original Hunting configuration, and therefore re-designed it to a smaller 80-seat fuselage, known as the Model 200, the originally retroactively becoming the 100....
