In the West Coast version, the high-wing, tricycle-gear transport will seat 40 passengers and will be Powered by two 1,640 horsepower Rolls Royce Dart engines similar to those currently being used In the Vickers Viscount flown by Cap ital, Trans-Canada Airlines and others. Nick Bez, WCA president, said his company estimates the F-27 will cut station-to-station time on West Coast routes by 40 per cent and double the passenger, mail and freight payload. From a passenger comfort stand point. Bez listed advantages of the new plane including a high wing allowing an unobstructed view through panoramic, oval-windows, cabin-pressurization to sea-level at all altitudes flown by WCA, and a completely equipped galley. Jet turbo-prop engines allow quiet vir tually vibration-free flight in com parison to current reciprocating en gines, he pointed out. Present plans call for delivery starting approximately September. 1957, and Bez said the planes would be used at first to supplement rath er than replace the company's pres ent fleet of 14 Douftlas DC-3'5. al lowing greater flexibility of sched uling along high-density segments.
