The BAC 1-11, or One-Eleven, is a middle-range jet airliner designed by Hunting Aircraft and produced by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) after Hunting was merged with several other British aviation firms in 1960.
The 1-11 was designed to replace the successful Vickers Viscount on its existing routes with British European Airways (BEA) and other operators. The 1-11 was the second short-haul jet airliner to enter service, the first being the French Sud Caravelle, but due to its later entry date the 1-11 was able to take advantage of greatly improved engine fuel economy and was less expensive to operate. This made it moderately popular, with a launch-customer list including over half of the sales to the United States, with an eventual production run of well over 200. The 1-11 was one of the most successful British airliner designs, and served from its introduction in the early 1960s until its widespread retirement in the 1990s due to noise restrictions.
