Evolution and Basic Design Philosophy: Background to the Requirement for a Short/Medium‐Range Airliner, Versions of the Trident and Selection of Basic Configuration
AS long ago as 1944, de Havilland's were making their first preliminary studies of a three‐turbojet‐engined airliner for use on short/medium haul routes. This aircraft would have…
Automatic Landing: An Introduction to the Requirement for Autoflare for the Trident, a Description of Smiths SEP.5 Flight Control System and Typical Operating Instructions for Approach and Landing
THE Trident has been designed from the outset for the eventual introduction of completely automatic landing.
Structural Design: An Account of the Design Philosophy Pursued for the Principal Load Carrying Structures, Materials Employed and Details of the Structural Test Programme
THE Trident has been designed with the objective of achieving freedom from fatigue cracks on the primary structure, during the operational life of the aircraft. Additionally, in…
Aerodynamic Design and Flying Controls: A Description of the Design Philosophy as it Applies to Wings, High Lift Devices, Engine Intakes and Flying Controls and an Account of the Mode of Operation of the Aircraft's Flying Control Circuits
THE aerodynamic design of a transport aircraft is fixed by the functions it is intended to fulfil. When the Trident 1 design was begun the aim was to provide a performance that…
Spey Power Plant: A Description of the Rolls‐Royce Spey By‐Pass Turbojet Engine, Its Development History, Installation, Fire Protection, Ice Protection and Starting System
IN short‐ and medium‐haul operation an aero engine is subjected to a greater frequency of full‐power cycles; these operations therefore impose more exacting conditions on an…
Aircraft Systems: Details of the Fuel, Electrical, Hydraulic, Air Conditioning and Pressurization, Ice and Rain Protection and Oxygen Systems with Descriptions of the Landing Gear and Auxiliary Power Unit
THE Trident IE fuel system, designed to operate on cither kerosene or JP.4, has a straightforward layout with few controls. Five integral tanks (FIG. 1), comprising four in the…
Interior Arrangements: Describing the Flight Compartment, the Passenger Dispositions, Interior Trim and Freight Hold Capacity
THE basic layout of the Trident flight compartment is designed to facilitate the eventual introduction of a fully automatic landing system, ‘Autoflare’ being the initial step…
Ground Handling and Maintenance: Background to the Features Incorporated to Minimize Turnround Times with a Description of Replenishment Points and Controls and Maintenance Aspects
TO achieve high utilization during intensive operation over short‐ or medium‐haul route networks, aircraft turnround times must be kept as low as possible. With this requirement…
Auxiliary and Ancillary Equipment
