Airco DH.121 Medway Trident
Status: Beta1
X-plane version: 8.64+
About:
The original Trident design. 3 x RR Medway (14,500 lbst). Larger wing and extended fuselage.
A real airplane. The big wing works well with the Trident's very good high mach performance and also makes for a much better take-off. Range is about 2000nm at 135,000lb tow. Cruise at 0.86 at FL360-400.
The model is based on a Trident 1E I built some time ago but never released.
Performance might be a little optimistic but what the hell, so was everybody in 1960!
