MM + 5, (+8x 2A-<~<.) plug-type entry doc/, and by deleting a rear service door. The Bristol Siddeley Artouste 514 auxiliary power unit fitted as standard to all Tridents is moved from under the cabin floor in the 1C to a position in the base of the fin above the jetpipe of the centre engine. Kuwait Airways and Iraqi Airways have so far ordered the IE (page 900). Trident IF By making use of the revised IE FLIGHT International, 28 November 1963 wing, the developed Spey-25 and a modified structure to permit a substantial increase in zero-fuel weight, the IF is intended to offer the lowest possible seat-mile costs over very short ranges. The IF has a 9.2ft-longer fuse lage with accommodation for 128 passengers, and an increased gross weight of 132,0001b. BEA have ordered 10, and with Hawker Siddeley are in the final stages of working out the contract details. The Trident order book appears on page 900. A full description of the Trident appeared in the May 2, 1963, issue of Flight International. D.H.126 This de Havilland project for a 30-seat jet for the DC-3 replacement market, powered by two by-pass engines of about 4,0001b thrust each (possibly Rolls-Royce RB.172s), is still an active project. HEINKEL Ernst Heinkel Flugzeugbau GmbH, Speyer, Germany. He 211 The He 211 is a 24/32-seat airliner designed for short stage-lengths. Power is provided by two General Electric CF700 turbofans mounted in the extreme rear fuselage; there are separate intakes to the main engine (in the butterfly tailplane) and aft fan (round the body). In May this year, the West German Minister for Research, Herr Hans Lenz, announced that the Government was advanc ing £2,750,000 during 1963 and a further £4,500,000 in 1964 for the development of civil aircraft designs such as the He 211; but it has not been announced how much the 211 is to receive. Indeed, the 211 is now thought to be in life or death struggle with the Messer- schmitt Me P 160 for Government finance. ILYUSHIN 11-12 A considerable number of these unpressurized 27-passenger transports con tinue in service. The design originated during the war as a general-purpose transport to replace the Li-2 (Russian-built DC-3). The first flight was in 1946 and the type entered service with Aeroflot in 1948. 11-14 There are two principal variants of this 11-12 development. The I1-14P, seating 18 or 26 passengers, is the standard version which is also produced in East Germany and 881 Czechoslovakia. The I1-14M has a 39in- longer fuselage seating for up to 32 passengers. About 2,000 of all versions have been built. 11-18 The 11-18 is the Russian equivalent of the Lockheed Electra and Vickers Vanguard. The design stemmed from discussions with Aeroflot in 1955 (about the same time as its Western contemporaries were conceived); the prototype flew in July 1957 and the type went into Aeroflot service in April 1959. More than 150 have been built, and more have been exported—to other Soviet-bloc airlines and others—than of all other Russian airliners combined. An order list appears on page 900. 11-62 Since the existence of this large jet transport in the 707, DC-8 and VC10 class was confirmed on September 25, 1962, only a few photographs and some of the broadest general information have been released. According to reports, three Il-62s are now flying, powered not by the four Kuznetsov turbofans intended for production aircraft, but by four 19,2001b Mikulin AM-3M turbo- jets as fitted to the Tupolev Tu-104. The aircraft is designed to fly Moscow - New York, and it is reported that the type will enter service during 1964. LOCKHEED Lockheed Aircraft Cor poration, Burbank, California, USA. L.18-56 Lockheed's entry to airliner manu facturing came with their all-metal 8/10-seat L.10 Electra of 1934. About 150 were built, of which about 15 are still in service. By 1937, the L.10 had led to the much heavier and more powerful L.14 through progressive develop ment, and in the same year Lockheed decided to stretch the L.14 design as Douglas had done to the DC-1. The developed 14 was known as the L.18 Lodestai which flew for the first time in 1939. Considerable numbers of L.18s were built during the war, and a few remain in scheduled service. L.049 The result of discussions in the sum mer of 1939, the Constellation owed something of its general layout to a four-engined, short-haul project, the L.44 Excalibur, but was much larger, being designed to carry 40 passengers across North America non-stop.
