Extract

The history of mechanical transport has been one of increasing speeds and there seems to be little doubt that air transport will follow this pattern. To the passenger, increased speeds mean a saving of time, and time is money. To the operator, increased speeds mean more flights per week and therefore greater earning capacity for his aircraft. This year indeed has been marked by the appearance of the four-jet air liner, the forerunner of the four hundred knot air transport.
