EDITORS COMMENTS
In this artists' impression, we catch a glimpse of the futuristic Vickers Super VC-10 airliner concept, as it soared through the skies in 1960. The VC-10 was a high-altitude, jet-powered airliner that was designed and manufactured by Vickers-Armstrongs, a leading British aeronautical company. This particular design was ordered by the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC), with a total of ten aircraft on the horizon. The Super VC-10 was an evolution of the original VC-10, which had already proven itself as a successful civil jetliner. With its advanced design and innovative features, the Super VC-10 was expected to set new standards in air travel. The airliner boasted a sleek and modern appearance, with a distinctive wing design that provided excellent lift and fuel efficiency. Its powerful Rolls-Royce Conway engines were capable of propelling the aircraft to impressive cruising speeds, allowing it to cover long distances with ease. At the time, the high-altitude capabilities of the Super VC-10 were particularly noteworthy. Flying at altitudes of up to 35,000 feet, the airliner offered passengers a smoother ride and faster travel times, as well as breathtaking views of the world below. The cabin was designed with comfort and luxury in mind, featuring spacious seating and advanced climate control systems. Despite the promise of this innovative airliner, the Super VC-10 ultimately failed to capture the market in the same way that its predecessor had. However, it remains an important chapter in the history of jet-powered aviation and a testament to the ingenuity of Vickers-Armstrongs and BOAC. This artists' impression offers a tantalizing glimpse into the future of air travel in 1960, and serves as a reminder of the exciting possibilities that lie ahead in the world of aviation.
