L-1011 was very well designed,comfortable and had great safety record, it was just really unlucky and R Royce kind of failed them, so the American airline took the DC 10, and Lockheed Martin was left out, then, the 60 minute rule was cancelled , so there’s really no need for a trijet so people can just buy the more fuel-efficient twin engine jet. Sad :( 😢 @BreadOnButter
You said the 60 minute rule but it only applies to 2 engine aircrafts at the time, and that’s why the A300 succeeded after this rule was cancelled, and L-1011 failed. @BreadOnButter
ETOPS applies to twins on routes with diversion time more than 60 minutes at one-engine-inoperative speed. For rules that also cover more than two engines, as in the case of the FAA, ETOPS applies on routes with diversion time more than 180 minutes for airplanes with more than two engines. @BreadOnButter
The Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, commonly referred to as the L-1011 (pronounced "L-ten-eleven") or TriStar, is a medium-to-long-range, wide-body trijet airliner by Lockheed Corporation. It was the third wide-body airliner to enter commercial operations, after the Boeing 747 and the McDonnell Douglas DC-10. The airliner has a seating capacity up to 400 passengers and a range over 4,000 nautical miles (7,410 km). Its trijet configuration has three Rolls-Royce RB211 engines with one engine under each wing, and a third engine, center-mounted with an S-duct air inlet embedded in the tail and the upper fuselage. The aircraft has an autoland capability, an automated descent control system, and available lower deck galley and lounge facilities.
Between 1968 and 1984, Lockheed manufactured a total of 250 TriStars, assembled at the Lockheed plant located at the Palmdale Regional Airport in southern California north of Los Angeles. The aircraft's sales were hampered by two years of delays due to developmental and financial problems at Rolls-Royce plc, the sole manufacturer of the TriStar's engines. After production ended, Lockheed withdrew from the commercial aircraft business due to its below-target sales.
Lockheed Martin did not succeed on this but it was certainly not a phototype!

Plus the 60 minutes rule only limit the aircraft with two engines @BreadOnButter
And this plane actually have three engines if you can count…… @BreadOnButter
