3-engined Aircraft Types.....

[Radish]

OK guys.
I'm not "up" at all on anything civil at all.

I know about certain 3-engined aircraft types (and kits!) like the Ju-52, Ford Trimaster and SM.79.....but that's really about it.
I know there are a few jet powered airliners, but what are they?
Waiting in anticipation.

MD-11! DC-10! 727! Trislander! Tristar!

Long live the three holers!

One day I will do a five engines Fivestar based on L-1011 and 747.

some 3-engine jet airliners:

HS Trident
Lockheed L-1011
McDD DC-10/MD11
Boeing 727
YAK-40

coporate jets

Dassault Falcon 50 & 900

and don't forget that super-sexy epitome of sleek UK aircraft design; the BN Trislander!

Trislander is not jet powered ... I think

Add Tu-154
Yak-42

[elmayerle]

wasn't there a turboprop version of the Trilander?

Does VTOL count ?
MiG-21 MLD

Some trimotors:
Fokker F.VII/3m
Savoia-Marchetti S.73P (piston transport)
Beardmore Inflexible (experimental transport)
Blackburn Iris III,V (piston biplane flying boat)
Short Rangoon (three-engined biplane flying boat)

Boeing had plans for a three-engined 747.

SAAB had also some plans for three-engined aircrafts:
110: Three-engined business jet, rear mounted engines with air intakes on top of the fuselage in front of the fin, up to 9 passengers, 1969.
113: Three engined corporate jet, 25 passengers, 1969.
115/108-6: Three engined jet commuter, 24 passengers, 1970 (both numbers later reused).

Some Japanese:
H3H1 Hiro Navy Type 90-1 Flying-Boat (Three-engined monoplane)
H3K1/H3K2 Kawanishi Navy Type 90-2 Flying-Boat (Three-engined biplane)

Thanks guys.

You see me and Dork were talking and talking....and, er....talking, and there "might" be a plastic outcome.....er...probably will be....

Dont forget that Dassault Buisness jet with 3 engines! And then theres  British Airways 747-400s. Often they turn one engine off during cruise

Sorry, I don't have any pictures at all of these. I have just read about these projects in books and at the net.
