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,

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

to the bottom of the class! How about Tu154? And the Russians did a little one- Yak40.
Completely forgot about the TU-154. 
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.

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?? )

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.
