I would love to see this bird in Olympic Airlines livery! In VIASA livery is awesome!

...Or British Airways livery, as a replacement for Concorde on the London-New York route

Excellent work! Very sleek and much better looking than Concorde.

Thanks for the comments everyone, im making more liveries for the AC11 including British Airways in 1980 and also the Landor livery, but for the moment a little present for odysseus:

CAV AC11-100 Olympic Airlines

Thank you a lot KIKE92! The CAV AC11-100 is awesome in this livery as well.

However, the registration seem peculiar. Following the Registration System of Olympic Airlines, a four engined aircraft would have an SX-D## registration. But the B747 had SX-OAA to SX-OAE, "O" for "Onassis", the owner of the airline when it was private. In my scenario, Olympic Airlines still remains a private airliner. I think that if real Olympic Airlines had Concord, they would follow the B747.

It seems that the AC11-100 enters service about together with Concord according your specs. Perhaps my airliner would go for this instead of Concord. What about its price compareed with Concord? The Tu-144 would be the cheaper probably.

P.S I supposed that you "borrowed" the "OLYMPIC" and flag from my AU VC10, right?

I didn't know that Olympic had those registrations i just used a random one.

As for the price i dont really know but i would expect it to be around 15 to 20% higher than Concorde.

Yes i used the Olympic logo for two reasons, first the fuselage diameter of the AC11 is very similar to that of the VC10 so it already fitted quite well and second standardization.

Anything registration from SX-OAF onwards is correct.

I assumed that CAV offered several seat configurations, the aircraft is enormous (with 84m almost the AC11 would be the longer airliner for many years).

With 8,400 km range the AC11 would connect direcAthens to New York and to Sydney via Bangkok, to refer 2 of several routes I created for my scenario.

What about its production? (Years, numbers etc).

Well its maximum passenger capacity is 273 all economy, so it might be able to carry 240 in a two class layout or 210-220 in three class configuration.

As for production, the first flight takes place in 1971 so service entry could be in 1976 with the launch customer (Viasa) with other customers following very soon, i had a couple of airlines in mind for the aircraft among them Iberia, Alitalia, KLM, Varig and others, basically i was thinking of some of the airlines that were planning to acquire either Concorde or the Boeing 2707 so we would be looking at a production run of well over 100 aircraft or maybe more.
