Sud-Ouest Triton
Zemlja	Francuska
Ulogu	Eksperimentalni trenerski avioni
Prvi let	11 Novembar 1946
Izgradio	5+2

Čaj Sud-Ouest SO.6000 Triton bio je prvi francuski mlazni avion koji je proizveden, a tokom četrdesetih godina prošlog veka završio ga je SNCASO. Dizajn SO.6000 počeo je 1943. Ubrzo posle rata, francuska vlada je zahtevala da se izgradi pet prototipova.

The Secret Project of the Occupation

Čaj Sud-Ouest SO.6000 Triton holds the distinction of being the first French-built jet aircraft. Remarkably, its design began in secret in 1943 during the German occupation of France. Under the leadership of Lucien Servanty, engineers worked clandestinely to ensure that France would not be left behind in the “Jet Age” once the war ended. The resulting aircraft was a side-by-side two-seat trainer, though its bulbous fuselage gave it an unconventional, somewhat rotund appearance.

Engineering and Design Peculiarities

Side-by-Side Seating: Unlike many contemporary jet trainers that opted for tandem (one-behind-the-other) seating, the Triton featured a wide cockpit for side-by-side instruction. This contributed to its wide, “barrel-like” fuselage profile.
The German Engine Paradox: Ironically, the first flight of France’s “sovereign” jet was powered by a captured German Junkers Jumo 004 engine, as the intended French engines were not yet ready.
The “Nose” Intake: The Triton used a classic early-jet nose intake. In later prototypes, this was refined into a large, gaping circular intake that fed air directly back to the centrifugal-flow Rolls-Royce Nene engine.
Mid-Wing Design: The aircraft featured a straight, mid-mounted wing. This was a conservative aerodynamic choice compared to the swept-wing designs being explored in the US and USSR at the same time, reflecting the project’s early 1943 origins.

Legacy: The Foundation of French Jet Power

Limited Production: Only five prototypes were ever built. While the Triton itself never entered mass production, it served as an invaluable testbed for French pilots and engineers to learn the nuances of high-speed jet flight.
The “Nene” Connection: The installation of the British-designed, French-built Nene engine in the Triton began a long and successful partnership between Hispano-Suiza and Rolls-Royce, which powered many early French jet fighters.
Birth of the Concorde Engineer: The Triton’s lead designer, Lucien Servanty, later became the chief French engineer for the Concorde supersonic transport, showing a direct lineage from this experimental jet to the pinnacle of civil aviation.
Survivor: The first prototype (No. 01) is preserved and on display at the Musée de l’Air et de l’Espace at Le Bourget Airport near Paris.
