The Boeing 727, Trident, and the Russian TU-144 (I think the 144, or the TU-40?)

[Rainboe]

Go to the bottom of the class! How about Tu154? And the Russians did a little one- Yak40. And nobody mentioned Ford Tri-motor, Junkers 52

[BOAC]

Yak 40, DH125, Armstrong Whitworth Argosy and Fokker Tri-motor.:)

Con - are you thinking of the TU-154?

Guess it won't be long before someone tells us about the BA 747.........................:ugh:

Yak 40, DH125, Armstrong Whitworth Argosy and Fokker Tri-motor.Wasn't that a Handley Page Argosy ? Unless you are casting apersions at the reliability of the Whistling Wheelbarrow. ;)

Anyone mention the Yak 42 too. Fokker F.VIIb/3m (and IMAM Ro10), Savoia SM75, Northrop C-125. And at least one DC-3 ! Some model of Stinson which I can't be bothered to look up and few even more obscure US types.

Bet you're sorry you asked now,

:hmm: Ha Ha
You ALL forgot the the Britten Norman Trilander and The DHA Drover and also the Aircraft Hydro Forming BushMaster,which was supposed to be a modern version of the Ford Trimotor :ok:

[PaperTiger]

You ALL forgot the the Britten Norman TrilanderNo, we all agreed a long time ago never to mention it. :ouch:

That Trident in the viewing park is looked after by the Trident Preservation society. You can go on board and have a guided tour too. It is well worth it. It is better than that pointy thing that they keep there:)

Many Tridents were the only four-engined three-engine planes. Remember the smaller jet added for extra oomph.

[chiglet]

seacue,
They were actually five engined, if you include the APU,:ok:

"DH125"??? Thought they only had 2 engines.
Falcon 50 has 3
Not to mention the MD11
Birmingham also had a Trident on the fire training ground (Trident 3) - not sure whether it's still there though.

Actually I was thinking about the Yak-40, so really messed up. :uhoh: Completely forgot about the TU-154. :ooh:

As for the Ford Tri-Motor, whatever the Forker Tri-Motor was called, I assumed (there's that word again) that they were asking about jet powered airliners.

And I guess the DC-10 and the MD-11 could count as two different aircraft. :\





(I'll take me beer and go into the corner now.)

[chevvron]

Trident 3's actually had 5.

[FakePilot]

What about that one that crossed the Atlantic recently and got everybody upset? :E

[barit1]

Prewar - Fiat built one, and another Italian type too - both low wing.
In the US, there were two different Stinson types - One high wing, one low wing. Also a Bach high wing.

(maybe an AH&N thread?? :) )

[chiglet]

BAC111, 'cos either Braniff or American used the APU to give another 20kts or so, to ruduce their "block times"......:ok:

[411A]

Let us not forget that of all the three engine types (normal three engines, not APU's or the odd HS.121's with the 4th engine)....

Only two had CATIIIB/C capability, right out of the box.

Trident and TriStar.

Both, well ahead of all the others in automation.

[Biggles200]

Also there was the Fiat G12 and the Savoia-Marchetti SM82.

Perhaps we're getting numbers mixed here - the HS125 (Hawker Siddley, later merged into BAe) was a twin biz jet, very popular in the states in the early 1980s except for the engines, RR Viper 520/620 series donks were thirsty.

Cheers, y'all.

The Yak 40 and the Yak 42...
:)
Happy contrails

And has no one mentioned the Trilander?

Actually the HS125 started out as a De Havilland design, the DH125, but became the HS125 when De Havilland merged with various other companies to form Hawker Siddeley.

Similarly the Trident started as the DH121 and became the HS121.

Bloke round here used to fly grippers said he always made a point of using the boost engine (only good to FL100)...never made a lot of difference but it made hime feel better...also they could and often were landed with no2 already in reverse....

According to some, the Lockheed Constellation was the best three-engined aircraft ever built. :} ;)
