Sud-Ouest Triton – 사진 및 동영상

Tthe 수드 우에스트 SO.6000 트리톤 제조된 최초의 프랑스 제트기였으며 1940년대에 SNCASO에 의해 완성되었습니다. SO.6000 설계는 1943년 독일 점령으로 인한 비밀 프로젝트로 엔지니어 Lucien Servanty의 지휘 아래 시작되었습니다. 전쟁이 끝난 직후 프랑스 정부는 5개의 프로토타입을 제작할 것을 요구했습니다.

Tthe 수드 우에스트 트리톤 was a French experimental aircraft designed and built in the late 1940s to test the concept of a tailless delta wing. The Triton had a triangular wing with a sweep angle of 60 degrees and a small vertical fin at the rear. The pilot sat in a pressurized cockpit in the nose, and the powerplant was a single turbojet engine mounted in the fuselage. The Triton made its first flight on 11 March 1950, piloted by Jacques Guignard.
The aircraft demonstrated good stability and handling qualities, but suffered from low speed performance and high landing speed. The Triton was modified several times to improve its aerodynamics and flight envelope, but it never reached its design speed of Mach 0.9. The 트리톤 program was cancelled in 1953, after 93 flights and about 40 hours of flight time. The Triton was one of the first aircraft to explore the potential of the delta wing configuration, which would later be adopted by many supersonic fighters and bombers.
