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.
