description="Back in the 60's, there was a need for a widebody airliner that was smaller to the 747 but capable of landing and departing airports with short runways. Lockheed had been largely absent from the civil airliner market since the late 50's following technical problems with the L-188 Electra. Having experienced difficulties with some of their military programs, Lockheed was eager to re-enter the civil market, and their response was the TriStar. The aircraft was originally conceived as a "jumbo twin", but a three-engine design was ultimately chosen to give the aircraft enough thrust to take off from existing runways. It's direct competitor in the market was the McDonnell Douglas DC-10. Eventually, Lockheed suffered the loss of airlines' interest due to delays in Rolls Royce engines deliveries, and McDonnell Douglas won the biggest share of the market. In 1983, after reaching the 250th mark of L1011's built, Lockheed stopped production and withdrawed from the market for good."
