Up to now all-cargo planes have been not ed mainly for their inability to earn profits. United, TWA and American for example lost a total of $:i:i million in a re cent 12-month period flying pis ton-engine cargo planes. The Boeing 707 freighter TWA has begun flying has a payload of 90,000 pounds and a speed of BOO m.p.h. TWA figures that just one jet freighter, operated 13 hours a day, can produce S5 of revenue for every mile flown. It costs $150 per mile to fly. Fast loading and unloading is one of the major benefits de rived from using a plane de signed specifically for cargo. TWA "pre - packages" its jet loads putting numerous small boxes in one huge pallet which is lifted to the seven-by-ll-foot cargo door on a special hydrau lic fork lift. Once inside the plane, a conveyor belt on the cabin floor moves the cargo to ward the rear. TWA expects lo double its cargo profits in the next five years. In 1902 the airline grossed million from air freight and netted $15 million profit. This year, it will gross $54 million an,.! "ill net about $17 million. TWA, Pan American, Ameri can and United alone have or dered 3,1 jetfreighters, costing more than $200 million. The size of that investment repre sents their faith in the future of air cargo.
