A sample of the reliability of these jet engines may be found in General Electric's standard test for airborne efficiency of its CJ-805. They put the engine in a jet fighter, run it above maximum safe altitude, give it cruel abuse via sudden throttle bursts and chops in mid-air, with instantaneous re ignition, and find that it can go 120 hours like that without a part having to be changed or adjusted. Super-thick aluminum alloy skins are used in all jetliners, With new indestructible, welds and re inforcements at points of greatest stress. No Ameri- cut to 20 inches. In addition, Convair dreamed up a hailstone gun to whang golfball-size ice balls off the wings at 575 mph. Damage: one small dent One jetliner will do the transport work 'of -about three prop-driven aircraft like the DC-7 or Super Constellation. On a one-for-three replacement basis, jet makers figure any airline can save itself $11 million a year in operating costs maybe more. Some 40 big and small foreign and domestic airlines have bought this argument, and upwards of 400 jet liners to prove it. Speedier airlifting of more people to faraway places on a near-commuter schedule a performance as smooth as custard pudding. To get CAA certification for commercial use, Douglas plans to assign the first nine that come off the line to the rigorous Government testing program. Of the three main contenders, Boeing got the earliest start. They flew the first 707 some four years ago, clocking it on a cross-country run at just under four hours. But last year the same ship improved the earlier average 592 mph eastbound by following regular airline routes at an average 612 mph coast-to-coast in well under four hours. Inuring the transitional period from prop-driven planes to jets, there's no doubt that a more - foolproof system must be devised to guide jetliners through slower moving traffic without accident. In flight there will be no problem because they will fly well above the highest-flying prop driven competition, but climbing and descending will present problems. When we reach the all-jet era sometime in the next seven years, the problems will be compounded. Radar presently geared to scout maverick thunderheads 200 miles away will have to be supplemented by safety guidance devices now in the experimental stage. When they are needed, they will be ready. For now, you will be off to London or Paris for the week end in a jet whose engine has been proved as thoroughly as a new antibiotic for babies. General Electric, Pratt & Whitney, and Rolls-Royce are the big names in the new industry. They put their jets on mountaintops for sub-zero testing of the hot-air devices which keep ice from forming on the intake surfaces. They made sure that an accidentally ab sorbed stone, hunk of metal, or big bird would not jJtw Ian roh fir :k "J Once in final assembly, ships were subject to more abuse to test their endurance in all weather extremes and their limits of stress.

In addition, all jet makers have put their assembled body and wing sections through en durance tests far more rugged than anything flight conditions' will require. Convair, for example, coaxes a 22,000-pound pressure device to pull its 880's wing apart by cutting a four-inch slit in the metal surface. Inspection would spot this in actual prac tice, but in the testing machine the wing didn't come apart even after days of tugging had widened the should enable carriers to get back their billion dollar investment relatively fast and bring jetliner fares, somewhat higher initially, to levels within the reach of practically anybody with a yen to travel. Whether your destination is the continent or the islands, a tropical frolic or a heartfelt visit to "the old country," the watchword of jetliner travel guar antees you a thrilling trip with all the comforts of your own living room.
