Cargo Plane To Break in Half for Loading Planned San Diego, Calif. (UPD- The Convair Division of General Dynamics Corp. today reveal ed plans for a giant 635-mile- per-hour cargo plane that breaks in half for loading and kneels down like a camel. The cargo plane will be a version of the Convair 600 jet transport now being built for American Airlines. The first flight is scheduled for the middle of next year. The 600 is larger and faster than the Convair 880, now undergoing flight tests. It also will have a longer range. Convair President J. V. Naish said the entire tail sec tion of the cargo version will swing aside for fast unloading and loading. The camel -like action will allow .direct load ing from the height of truck beds. A simplified control system using the principal of a bell crank means that no pins or cables need be discon nected when the tail is swing arcfund. 30 Minute Turn-Around "It will be possible 1o turn around a Convair 600 cargo plane in just 30 minutes," said Naish. "And that includes complete unloading, reload ing, opening and closing the tail, servicing and refueling." The main cargo area of the 600 is seven feet one inch high, 10 feet eight inches wide and 80 feet four inches long. There also are two smaller cargo areas providing a total of 6,743 cubic feet of cargo space. The cargo 600 has an over all length of 139 feet and a wingspan of 120 feet. With a payload of 10 tons the plane will have a range of 5,750 statute miles and with a payload of 35 tons it will have a range of 2,935 statute miles. Power for the plane is sup plied by four General Electric CJ805-21 aft-fan jet engines. Naish said one advantage of the model 600 is that it will be able to operate on any air strip that can handle conven tional four engined aircraft. For normal operations less than 6,000 feet of runway would b needed for landing or taking off. Naish said Convair has had several requests for informa tion on the cargo 600 from the Air Force as well as commer cial airlines.'
