THE VC10, as conceived in 1956, was an air-craft developed specifically for B.O.A.C.'s Commonwealth air routes. For this, the requirement was to transport 32,000 lb. of pay-load over stage lengths of up to 2,200 nautical miles at speeds in excess of M=08, coupled with the ability to operate from hot and high aerodromes with short runways. In this form, the plane evolved as a four-engined jet aircraft, of about 240,000 lb. a.u.w. and 2,400 sq. ft. wing area.
