Lockheed Tristar

The Lockheed TriStar is an airliner wreck off Aqaba, Jordan, and the largest plane wreck in the area. It is a Lockheed L-1011 wide-body trijet, 50 m (164 ft) long with a 50 m wingspan, built for up to 400 passengers.

The aircraft was intentionally sunk on 26 August 2019 by the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority as an artificial reef. It was sunk in front of the Old Phosphate Port, further offshore than the smaller C-130 Hercules wreck.

The TriStar rests upright on a sloping sandy bottom, sitting slightly tail-down. The nose and cockpit are the shallowest part at 15 m (50 ft), and the tail is deepest at 28 m (92 ft). The cockpit is intact, the passenger cabin still has seats, and the S-Duct can be attempted as a penetration. The casings of the three Rolls-Royce RB211 engines are still mounted on the wings and tail.
