It was a twin-[[turbojet]] that could carry around one hundred [[passenger|passengers]]. Some were built under licence in [[Romania]] as '''RomBAC 111'''. This [[aircraft]] is similar to the [[France|French]] [[Sud Aviation Caravelle]] and to the [[USA|US]] [[Douglas DC-9]]. The One-Eleven was retired from service in the 1990s because of noise restrictions. It was one of the more successful British designed airliners. ==History and service== Before the airplane was called the BAC 1-11, it was called the Hunting 107 before Hunting Aircraft merged with British Aircraft corporation. It entered service in 1965, a while before it's competitors. Despite it being a British aircraft, half of the original orders were [[United States of America|American]]. During the 1980s noise restrictions were passed, and most [[Airline|airlines]] wanted to hush-kit the aircraft instead of putting the aircraft out of service. They did this because at least half of the 1-11s still in service were fairly new; only 5-10 years old. During the early 1990s, more noise restrictions were passed, and this time, the planes were approaching retirement age anyway, so the BAC 1-11 saw most airlines retiring them in the 90s. The last ones in service were testbeds for the [[Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II]], and those were retired in 2019. {
