British Aircraft Corporation One‐Eleven 500 Series

Abstract

An introduction to the latest British jet airliner and giving the background of experience and development which has led to the stretched version of the short haul One‐Eleven with 97/99 seats for British European Airways and world airlines from 1968. LAUNCHING a major new development in Britain's most successful jet airliner programme and forging the fourth major link in a two decade chain of co‐operation between British Aircraft Corporation—née Vickers—Weybridge and British European Airways, is the airline's order for a fleet of 18 of the newly defined One‐Eleven 500 99‐seat short‐haul jet (FIG. 1), with an option on a further six. The B.E.A. One‐Eleven 500 (FIG. 13) is designated Model 510 and is to incorporate a 97‐seat layout. The first production aircraft will fly in the spring of 1968 and B.E.A. plans to begin One‐Eleven service in the winter 1968/69.
