Lockheed was once one of the major commercial and military transport aircraft manufacturers. Perhaps the most iconic commercial aircraft it made was the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar. While the aircraft was a financial disappointment for Lockheed, it was one of the great aircraft of the era. It is a reminder of a time before the world was dominated by the current Boeing/Airbus duopoly. Other airlines either abandoned the market or were absorbed by Boeing and Airbus, and today, only Boeing and Airbus make widebody airliners.
