ir Force Plane Buying Plans
Call for Six New Types of Jets
By CHARLES CORDDRY
United Presi Aviation Writer
Washington (U.R) Air Force
plane buying plans for the com
ing fiscal year call for six new
types of high-speed jet fighters
and a powerful new light bomb
er developed originally for the
Navy.
All, including the bomber, are
in the 600 to 700 miles an hour
class. Some may exceed those
speeds. Besides the new types,
additional orders will be placed
for combat planes now in pro
duction.
A summary of production
types for fiscal 1953, beginning
July 1, from official and unoffi
cial sources, follows:
Mew Global Bomber
Boeing B-52 Stratofortress: An
eight-jet "global" atomic bomb
er soon to start flight tests.
Range is probably 8,000 miles.
Boeing B-47 Stratojet: A six
jet medium bomber with more
than 600 miles an hour speed,
already in production with new
orders to come. Range is about
4,000 miles.
Douglas RB-66: A twin-jet
bomber to be produced at first
in high-speed reconnaissance ver
sions. It was developed, and is
to be produced, for the Navy as
the A3D carrier-based attack
bomber.
Martin B-57: A twin-jet light
bomber developed originally by
Britain as the Canberra. Speed is
about 500 miles an hour. Has
spanned the Atlantic in record
time.
To Continue B-36
The Consilodated Vultee B-36
superbomber will continue in
production under present orders
into 1954 and a few additional
ones may be ordered in the com
ing fiscal year. Also to come
under consideration is Consoli
dated Vultee's YB-60, an all-jet
version of the B-36.
New types of fighters include:
North American F-100, a larger
plane than the same company's
F-86 Sabre with more sharply
sweptback wings and close to
twice the power.
McDonnell F-101, a long-range
escort fighter which can double
as a fighter-bomber to support
armies. Developed originally as
the F-88.
New Types of Intercepter
Consolidated Vultee F-102, a
radically new type of inter
cepter plane with delta triangular
wing and extremely rapid rate
of climb for attacking bombers.
Developed originally as the XF
92 and tested extensively by Lt.
Col. Charles Yeager, the nation's
first supersonic pilot.
North American F-86H, a big
ger version of the Sabre modi
fied for higher performance and
ground support roles.
Lockheed F-94C, a very high
speed, thin-wing version of the
present F-94B all-weather inter
ceptor. Believed to be supersonic.
Republic F-84F, a sweptback
wing version of the F-84 Thunder-jet
ground support plane.
