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

more than $200 million. The

air cargo.
