The BAC 1-11 was only short haul.


Which limited it's usefulness and partly explains why it sold so
poorly.

There have been lots of short haul jet successes over the years,
so perhaps part of its limited success was in the mind of
the era, air-travel wasn't really a viable transport option
for average people. In particular in europe, where the train
has always had a strong position, contrary to the US.
