de Havilland Gyron

The Gyron was designed in 1951 by de Havilland as a private venture supersonic turbojet. The Gyron was first run in a test bed on 5th January 1953. Flight tests began in 1955 in a Short Sperrin under a Ministry of Supply contract. The engine was never put into production, losing out to the Bristol Siddeley/Rolls-Royce Olympus.

de Havilland DH121 Trident

First flown in 1962, the Trident was the second turbojet airliner designed and built at Hatfield. It was designed for speed and economy on short-haul operations by British European Airways, with an advanced 35 degree swept wing for cruise at Mach 0.88. The Trident broke new ground by having three engines, and by having all three at the rear (with the middle engine buried below the fin) so placing the jet exhaust noise behind the passenger cabin. The Trident was also the first airliner in the World to be designed and certified for automatic landing, with the Smiths Industries ‘Autoland’ system.
