This model is built very near to actual scale, boasting features that mirror real-world functionality. Animateable components like turbines, landing gear retraction and extension, landing gear doors, rudder, elevators, ailerons, inboard and outboard flaps all contribute to its authenticity. Fully textured with an abundance of exterior detail, this model has undergone significant improvements and updates to ensure accuracy since its inception in 2005 as a 3D model. Designed with animation and videos in mind, it is also ideal for populating airport scenes as both an active and static element. This versatility makes it compatible with various formats, including Max 2014, which can be downloaded instantly. Furthermore, this model can be programmed to operate within flight simulation programs. The Lockheed L-1011 was conceived as a mid-range aircraft bridging the gap between medium-haul airliners and the largest heavy jet airliners, directly competing with the DC-10. Throughout its extensive career spanning multiple continents, including continental routes in the western hemisphere, Europe, and Asia, it was utilized by hundreds of air carriers beginning in the early 1970s. Despite facing challenges such as RR engine availability and maintenance issues, the L-1011 demonstrated a superior safety record compared to its counterpart, the DC-10.
