Information
This custom propulsion model extends the CustomPropulsion model and models the propulsion of the Hawker Siddeley HS-121 Trident 3B.
Figure 1 shows the unusual propulsion configuration of the HS-121 Trident 3B. The aircraft has two turbofan engines mounted on both sides of the rear fuselage (engines 2 & 3), one turbofan engine mounted on the vertical stabilizer (engine 1) and one smaller turbojet engine (booster engine) mounted right on top of the s-duct of engine 1, also inside the vertical stabilizer.

The booster engine is only used when the throttle position control signal exceeds boosterThreshold parameter value, after which the throttle position of the booster engine is controlled by the original throttle position control signal subtracted by the booster threshold value scaled up to the interval between 0 and 1.
This propulsion model demonstrates by example how the CustomPropulsion model can be used to model unusual propulsion models that cannot be modeled with the ConventionalPropulsion model.
