The Trident was intended to serve as an interceptor with the French Air Force, first flying in 1953. It was powered by a rocket engine plus two Mabore turbojets at the wing tips. Seen on display at the Chalais Meudon near Paris, it later moved to the museum at Le Bourget. The preserved Farman Goliath F-HMFU is suspended from the roof.
