The Tri-Wing was invented by Lockheed for the L1011, not because it was better (it was not) but so that they could sell the hardware and tooling to install it. Lockheed did not stop there, they invented alloys (their primary business was defense) so that they could have their way there also. These alloys had never been used in conjunction with each other and all kinds of things started happening when riveted or bonded together!
As an example the L-1011 Galleys were below the main deck and to access them you had to take two elevators that were at the center of the Aircraft, everything in the system was aluminum with these new alloys, what was learned after years in service and food, especially soft drinks like Coke, that were spilled there started some amazing dissimilar metals corrosion the likes that had never been seen before in aviation!
The L-1011 was an amazing aircraft, for awhile, before it was so ate up it could not fly or even get out of Aircraft Overhaul after a "D" Check!
To top it all off they were only offered with the Rolls-Royce RB211 engine, another piece of shit, and that sealed it's fate!
ETOPS rules were changed and two engine aircraft became viable and that was it.
I got my Flight Engineers ticket on them while at Eastern as a Mechanic.

The utility tunnels under the halls through which you could go to ANY* room in the school and clandestinely listen to conversations through the return ventilation grates or go around the fans and climb up the ventilation shaft to the roof.

* LOL the amazing things the girls talked about when they thought they had privacy :ROFLMAO:
