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.
