CLASSIC AIRLINER
THE HAWKER
SIDDELEY TRIDENT
T
he Trident was familiar to many British
people from the mid-1960s to the
mid-1980s as the airliner was the
mainstay of the BEA fleet, introducing jet
travel to many on short and medium-range routes.
Coincidentally the Trident played a similar role in the
development of jet airline travel to the Chinese
public.
Despite the close relationship between BEA and
the manufacturer it was to prove a troublesome
connection, for having settled on a definite
specification for the aircraft, accommodating
approximately 110 passengers with 14,000lb thrust
engines, BEA demanded a substantial downsizing
that the manufacturers complied with. This smaller
aircraft also adopted lower-powered engines and as
a result the Trident's sales prospects were crippled as
its major competitor was the Boeing 727, which was
built to a specification similar to the original size of
the Trident. Hawker Siddeley developed the Trident
to make it more attractive to world markets, but even
so could not overcome the critical disadvantage
forced upon the Trident by its initial downsizing.
The Trident was however a pioneer. Following a
lengthy development programme it became the first
airliner to introduce Autoland giving it the facility to
land in conditions that kept all other aircraft on the
ground.
