Speedy Supersonic Airliner Planned For Atlantic Hops WASHINGTON (UPI) The United States will try to build a supersonic airliner capable of fly ing from New York to Paris in less than three hours. The announcement by President Kennedy Wednesday was based on recommendations from a high level' Cabinet committee headed by Vice President l.vndun B. Johnson. It put the United Slates into the hot supersonic transport competition generated mainly by the Hritish French project known as Concorde. Conronlo is aimed at producing an airliner with a speed of about 1.-I50 miles per hour, Iho proto type to be flying by 10(16 and in actual service across the Atlantic by llKkt. One U.S. airline, Pan American World Airways, disclosed Tuesday it had ordered six Concordes a move which undoubtedly pushed Kennedy toward his decision that was not supposed to be made until mill June. Details Unknown Slill unanswered were some key questions about the American en. try its speed, passenger cupar- ity, range, power plants ami con struction details. The President i said merely that it would be su perior to any foreign airliner, In dicating that it would be faster than the Concorde. Kennedy added that U.S. air frame and engine manufacturers would engage in an early design competition, with the federal gov ernment and the airlines deciding which promiccci we safest, most efficient and practical supersonic transport. Development costs esti mated at about SI billion will be shared by private risk capital and federal funds. Will Take Longer Reliable sources said Johnson's group actually recommended an airliner capable of flying 2,000 miles per hour at 60.000 feet. Such a plane, however, would re quire new melals and engines. The necessary development work could never match the 1908 dead line for a Concorde prototype, which will be built of convention al aluminum with already avail able engines. The President emphasired that If the design roinixMition reveals the impracticably of a supersonic airliner, the project will be post poned nr scrapped.
