The glistening air giant, hailed by Boeing officials as the world's first supercharged cabin transport plane, completed yesterday the Ini tial test of Its "air conditioning" equipment at 16.500 feet altitude. While Instruments outside regis tered 9 degrees below tero, Centi grade, Chief Test Pilot Edmund T. Allen reported nine company em ployes in the ship's cabin "were per fectly comfortable In our shirt sleeves." Allen said the descent from 16.500 feet to 6000 was made at 600 feet a minute, but there was no feeling of rapid descent because the pressure regulating equipment kept the ca bin atmosphere at virtually constant pressure. The altitude conditioning system consists of mechanical blowers, or superchargers, that Increase the pressure of the air as It enters the plane's ventilating system at alti tudes of decreasing pressure. Although It was the first altitude test of the sealed cabin conditioning appartus. It was the 11th test fHirht of the big plant, which Is designed for speedy and smooth sailing at high altitudes.
