Commercial passenger jets were first used on long-distance runs; the British De Havilland Comet began service in 1952, and the Boeing 707 in 1958.
Smaller jets such as the French Caravelle, the De Havilland Trident, and the Boeing 727, all of which used a design with engines in the tail, were built for medium-distance runs of 800 to 2,400 km (500 to 1,500 mi).
The French plane flew between Paris, Dakar, and Rio de Janeiro, and the British plane flew from London to Bahrain.

 Trident PC Video Game Review by AceGamez
Unfortunately for Trident, by 1972 the Boeing 727 was well established as the aircraft of choice for many of the world's airlines and because of this, only 117 trident aircraft were ever built.
Tridents were a relatively common site at British airports all over the UK in the 1980s and this add-on is an excellent nostalgia trip for all aviation enthusiasts.
Trident is very hard to criticise; running without fault and with no detriment to the usual running of FS2004, it resurrects a classic jetliner and returns you to the 1960s with style.

 De Havilland Aircraft Company
Geoffrey de Havilland, born in 1882, was in his late twenties in 1909.
De Havilland proceeded to build an engine, while Frank Hearle, the brother of his fiancée, helped to construct the aircraft.
De Havilland used the same construction in an early four-engine airliner, the Albatross, which flew in 1937.

 Trident
In August 1959 BEA signed an important contract with De Havilland for the new jet airliner, which was named the Trident 1.
As BEA were steadily introducing their new Trident 1C fleet, they knew that a greater number of aircraft would soon be required.
My first time on a Trident was a trip to the flight deck of a 2E in 1977.

De Havilland started the development of the Trident in 1957, when British European Airways (BEA), who needed to replace the Vanguard and Comet fleets, signed a letter of intent.
The Trident 3B with an extended fuselage and a capacity of up to 179 passengers was equipped with a small fourth engine ("booster engine") in order to cope with the higher takeoff weight under adverse conditions.
The Trident 2 comes with the colours of BEA (also the old livery with the read square), British Airways, CAAC, Northeast and BKS Air Transport, and the Trident 3 is provided with the liveries of BEA, British Airways (also the interim colours) and CAAC.

He moved to de Havilland's Propeller Division at Hatfield in 1955 and then transferred to the de Havilland Aircraft Co. in 1960 where he was engaged in Comet and Trident test flying.

In 1920 Geoffrey de Havilland changed the name of his company Airco, where he had previously been chief designer, to the De Havilland Aircraft Company.
Less well known, but equally disastrous, was the explosion of the Sea Vixen prototype during the 1952 Farnborough Airshow, which killed members of the public.

The de Havilland Aircraft Company was established in September 1920, designing both military and civil aircraft.
de Havilland Canada was established in 1928 and based in Toronto to build Moth aircraft for the training of Canadian airmen and continued to build its own designs suited to the harsh Canadian operating environment.
de Havilland Canada was later acquired by Bombardier and in May 2005, Bombardier sold the rights to the out-of-production aircraft (DHC-1 through DHC-7) to Viking Air Ltd. of Sidney, British Columbia.

Birthed from a specification put out by BEA for a fast 80-seater with a range of 1000 km in 1957, the Trident was proposed by the De Havilland and Hawker Siddeley consortium.
As far as the Trident is concerned this is normally a RTFM problem :) After clicking the centre "Prime" switch to Glide you must then click the Engage Glide button down in the bottom right hand corner of the autopilot panel.
This is assuming that both aircraft are already autopilot locked in heading mode (A/P ready on for the Trident and AP-1 on for the VC10) at a sensible speed, altitude and heading to intercept the glide-slope.

 Concept to Reality
In the early 1960s, four new T-tail jet transports (the de Havilland Trident, the Boeing 727, the BAC 111, and the McDonnell Douglas DC-9) emerged within the highly competitive transport market.
In Britain, the de Havilland Aircraft Company, Ltd. (who later merged with Hawker Siddeley Aviation, Ltd.), developed the Trident transport, which first flew on January 9, 1962.
The fourth stall test was made at an altitude of 11,600 ft in the landing configuration and with the stall warning and recovery systems inoperative.

The Trident 3B was a stretched (140 pax) version of the Trident 2, and 26 were built for British European Airways (BEA).
All 3Bs had an RB162 booster in the tail, allowing an increase of 14,500 lbs mtow or shortening the takeoff roll by some 1800 ft. Two Super 3Bs (3B-104) with increased fuel capacity were delivered to CAAC China.

 Airliners.net Tech Ops: Trident Crash
A de Havilland Trident crashed in the seventies as it climbed from LHR (I think), killing all on board.
Unfortunately, the Trident series of aircraft, altho very advanced for their time (especially automatic landing...the first jet transport to do so) had a very big flaw...the 'droops' could be retracted independantly of the flaps.
The retraction of the droops (which was thought to be the result of the captains orders who might have been incapacitated due to suffering a brain hemorrhage) caused the plane to stall and it entered an unrecoverable, tail-down nearly vertical decent.

Then again, the 727 was itself styled on the De Havilland Trident.
From the mid-1950s through about 1970 it was hard to tell who mimicked whom.
The jetliner biz was a busy and rapidly developing one: Britain's Comet, Trident, and BAC One-Eleven; France's Caravelle; America's Boeings, Douglases and Convairs.

The maintenance >folks would be incredibly irritated by such a monster! I have a reference that mentions that one version of the De Havilland Trident was built with two different types of engines.
(The Trident was a three-engined plane configured the same as a 727.) Apparently, De Havilland wanted to create a version with higher takeoff weights, so they took the Trident Three, which used RR Spey engines, and perched a fourth "booster" engine on top of the center engine, drawing air from a takeoff on the S-tunnel.
If I'm reading the book right (it's a little confusing), this was called the Super Trident 3B, and only two were ordered, both by CAAC.
