Hawker Siddeley Trident 2E: The background to the development of the Trident and a brief introduction to the 3B

Abstract

A COMPREHENSIVE series of articles on the Trident, its systems, engineering, aerodynamics and powerplant was published in the June 1964 issue of AIRCRAFT ENGINEERING, just after the Trident 1 entered service with B.E.A. This survey brings the story up to date with a special review of the Trident 2E which entered service last summer. It will be followed into service by the new high‐capacity version, the Trident 3B. In this survey the main focus is on the 2E, but there are also some notes by way of introduction on the 3B version. The intention is to follow this appraisal of the Trident 2E in due course with a full review of the engineering features and design aspects of the 3B.
