3 engine airliners
Hi all
New to the site and have a random question, what are the names of all the 3 engined airliners? i have got Tristar and DC10 but for the life of me cant rember the others. many thanks James. |
The Boeing 727, Trident, and the Russian TU-144 (I think the 144, or the TU-40?)
|
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
|
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: AAAGH! Rainboe'd by one minute..................:{ Must try harder Must try harder Must try harder Must try harder Must try harder............................ |

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: |

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.
|
seacue,
They were actually five engined, if you include the APU,:ok: watp,iktch |
"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. |

to the bottom of the class! How about Tu154? And the Russians did a little one- Yak40. 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.) |
Trident 3's actually had 5.
|
What about that one that crossed the Atlantic recently and got everybody upset? :E
|
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?? :) ) |
BAC111, 'cos either Braniff or American used the APU to give another 20kts or so, to ruduce their "block times"......:ok:
watp,iktch |
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. |
Three engined airliners
Also there was the Fiat G12 and the Savoia-Marchetti SM82.
