This article is about jet aircraft. For an aircraft with three propellers (driven by piston engines or turboprops), see Trimotor.
One of the first trijets was the Boeing 727 airliner.
A trijet is a jet aircraft powered by three jet engines. In general, passenger airline trijets are considered to be second-generation jet airliners, due to their innovative engine locations, in addition to the advancement of turbofan technology. Trijets are more efficient than quadjets, but not as efficient as twinjets, which replaced trijets as larger and more reliable turbofan engines became available.
