ROLE
The Hawker-Siddeley Trident was to be the world's first trijet
airliner. Each of
the three engines would drive its own hydraulic system, offering
triple redundancy in case of any of the other two systems (or both of them)
failing.
The Trident is notable for its pioneering avionics which enabled it to
become the first airliner to make a fully automatic approach and landing in
revenue
service in 1965. The Trident was one of the fastest subsonic commercial
airliners, regularly cruising at over 610 mph (980 km/h). The
Trident-2,
featured here was the first airliner to offer the triplex autoland system.
