Vickers VC10 - the lost flagship
The Vickers VC10 is a narrow-body long-range aircraft developed by British Vickers-Armstrongs conglomerate in the early 1960s. The plane made its maiden flight in 1962 and became the first civilian aircraft in the world, which applied a rear-engined quad layout (two other planes were the Soviet Ilyushin Il-62 and American Lockheed Jetstar). The newest airframe, engines, and avionics made the VC10 one of the most advanced airliners of its time.
However, despite the innovations and efforts of the aviators, a number of conceptual errors and fierce competition did not allow the flagship of the British aviation industry to become a world leader. Only 54 planes were produced.
