EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic moment at British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) Hurn factory, as the first BAC One-Eleven jet, registration G-ASHG, undergoes final preparations prior to its inaugural flight. The BAC One-Eleven, a twin-engine, short-range jet airliner, was a significant development in the aviation industry, marking a new era in regional jet transportation. The sleek and modern design of the One-Eleven is evident in this image, with its distinctive winglets and streamlined fuselage. The aircraft's innovative features, such as a high bypass ratio turbofan engine and a T-tail, were groundbreaking at the time and set new standards for fuel efficiency and performance. The BAC One-Eleven was the result of years of research and development, and this photograph captures the excitement and anticipation leading up to its first flight. The team at BAC worked tirelessly to ensure that every detail was perfect, from the engine installation to the final painting of the aircraft's distinctive livery. The history of aviation is filled with milestones, and the first flight of the BAC One-Eleven is undoubtedly one of them. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the engineers, designers, and pilots who brought this remarkable aircraft to life. It is a reminder of the past, as well as a glimpse into the future of aviation technology.
