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.'
