Aircraft Information British Aerospace BAC One Eleven
British Aerospace BAC One Eleven is a narrow-body jet passenger aircraft, developed and produced by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) in the 1960s and 1970s. It was created in response to the growing demand for regional airlines and was the first aircraft specifically designed for this market.
The BAC One Eleven was introduced in 1963 and was the first aircraft to be fully designed and produced in the United Kingdom. It was equipped with two Rolls-Royce Spey turbojet engines and could carry up to 119 passengers for distances up to 1,600 km.
The aircraft was very popular in the United Kingdom and other countries, with over 240 units produced. It was used for both regional and charter flights, as well as for government transportation.
However, in the 1980s, with the introduction of more modern and fuel-efficient aircraft, production of the BAC One Eleven was discontinued. Despite this, some of them continue to be used as charter and cargo aircraft.

The most comfortable and safe places on the plane
Like in any other aircraft, the safest seats in the British Aerospace BAC One Eleven are those closest to the exit. These are usually the seats in the first rows or near the emergency exits. Additionally, window seats are considered safer as they are further away from the center of the aircraft and can provide more space for evacuation in case of an emergency.
As for comfort, each passenger has their own preferences. However, seats in the first rows or near the emergency exits usually have more legroom and wider seats. Window seats can also offer a more scenic view outside.
It is important to note that the choice of seat in an aircraft may depend on the purpose of the flight and the individual needs of the passenger. For example, if you are traveling with a small child, it may be more convenient to choose a seat near the aisle for quick exit from the aircraft if necessary.
