Back in the days, engine reliability was an issue, especially with piston engines. Even with the advent of jet engines and their increasing reliability and popularity, twinjets were restricted by the FAA's 60 minute rule, which disallowed them from flying beyond a 60 minute range of an airport, in case of an engine failure.
However, this did not apply to trijets, as the rule was lifted in 1964 due to their greater safety margin. As a result, aircraft manufacturers were able to produce trijets for long haul flights. This was particularly evident in the 1980s, when the majority of civilian airliners were trijets.
Most trijets have an engine through the tail, with the remaining 2 engines positioned either beside the tail or mounted below the wings. This design allows the wings to be shifted backwards, hence decreasing turnaround times as the doors can be placed in more optimal areas. Fuel efficiency over 4-engined designs also helped boost its popularity.
As engine reliability increased over the years and ETOPS restrictions relaxed, twinjets became viable again for intercontinental flight, with airlines gradually replacing their trijet fleet with twinjets. Although most trijet airliners have seen the last of their days, they still serve today as private or military jets, or as cargo aircraft.

My general rant: I will call them blended winglets, not Sharklets; There is no CEO, it's just simply put, an Airbus 319/320/321, or the 320NEO, 321NEO etc. I didn't land IN DAL, I landed AT DAL. On the other hand, I did land in Dallas.

Re: Screencaps (Unedited)




The A380 is ahead of its time. With the resilient passenger traffic growth for times to come (reference from Airbus's Global Market Forecast), plus congested airports, the A380 could not be ignored.
