Bac 111 One-Eleven
The BAC One-Eleven was a British short-haul jet airliner, one of the first rear-engine, T-tail designs to enter widespread service in the 1960s, a layout later echoed by the DC-9 and Fokker F28. Mounting its engines at the rear kept the cabin quieter and the wing clean and efficient, a configuration that influenced regional jet design for decades afterward. It was also built under licence in Romania, extending production long after the original British line had ended. A small number remain in limited use today, mostly as testbeds or in preservation.
