Trident for B.E.A.
'0>S' . The Trident Three, Hawker Siddeley's new 18-seat stretched version of the model, was handed over recently to British European Airways. It is the first civil aircraft in production with a control system that not only takes the plane up and fends it with visibility down to 50 yards, but steers auto-
rnatically along the runway centreline. The Trident Three is capable of speeds over 600 miles per hour and, apart from the three main 11,900pound thrust Rolls Royce jets, is fitted with a li,ghtweight booster engine intended for use only on take-off.
