Future Jet Planes TO Oufspeed
i Light at More Than 700 m. ID.
BY s. BURTON HEATH
NEA Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON - Jet propul-
sion has set the aviation industry
back about quarter of q CEN
tury, in the great international
race for military air supremacy.
Tomorrow" General H. H.
Hap" Arnold told the Score
tary of War, 'the BIO will be-
long in the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, its place on the line to be
taken later by bombers that will
carry so tons of bombs, planes
with jet or rocket motors cap
able of flying around the world
at supersonic speeds"
Sonic speed - the speed OF
sound - is more than 758 miles
an hour. The Gloster Meteor,
setting a new world record the
other day, achieved a maximum
of only Gil miles an hour on
its fastest run over 7O-mile
course, though it had been spe-
cially groomed for the run.
General Arnold is visioning
war planes that will fly almost
unlimited distances, wi t h o u t
special grooming and with full
loads, at speeds of $50 miles
an hour and more above the
Meteor's proudest achievement
over a limited course.
With planes, as with dough-
boys slogging through the mud,

against the Germans or the Japs.
Even the Bell P-63, designed
and sent into engineering IL
months after Pearl Harbor, did
not get into action.
The BIO, which made history
beginning in mid-l944, had been
in engineering almost two years
before the sneak attack that be-
gan hostilities.
How long it requires to get a
single medium-sized war plane
into action, even after years Of
experience with the fundament-
al principles involved, can be
exemplified with the chronol-
ogy of the Douglas A-26 In
vader.
That triple threat attack ship
was specified by the AAF in
1910, designed in 1941, and put
into construction in July, 1941.
The first experimental hand
built product was test flown
July 10, 1912. The first produc-
tion-line A-26 went into action
in Europe in October, 1914. The
public was told about the In
vader in February, 1945.
Big things were expected from
the A-26 in the Pacific. News
papermen were asked not to hint
at these until enough Invaders
were there to make a strong
showing. When the Japs sur
rendered in August, 1945, some
five years after the AAF first
specified the plane, the Invader
still had not reached a point
where its role in the Pacific
could be unveiled.
That long sequence, which IS
typical, explains why the air
craft industry hopes that a con-
sistent program of war plane
development, to maintain this
nations current lar supremacy,
will be adopted by Congress.
The daily monitor leader., 1945-12-13

it's 'the last hard miles" that
calls for the supreme effort.
w h en- conventional propeller
planes powered with reciprocal
ing engines were relatively new,
after World War l, it was quite
easy to step up their speeds by
scores of miles an hour at a
Jump. More recently it has ta-
ken thousands of engineering
man-hours, and millions of dol
lars, to add every few miles an
hour.
Plane builders say that the
jet-powered plane now faces the
same process of evolution. In
one leap it has added perhaps
100 miles an hour to what might
be thought of as normal fast
plane speed. 1t may prove SIM
pie for every nation to step up;
from the present $50 or 600
miles an hour to, say, 700 or
thereabouts. Then progress will
begin to be slow, hard and cost
ly.
The nation that keeps ever
lastingly at it, crowning pure
scientific laboratory study with
practical building, use, modifi-
cation and rebuilding, is the ma
ton that - when and if a new
world war does come - will
dominate the air.
The aviation industry Is wor-
ried lest the public, and Con-
gress, get the idea that with this
nations enormous industrial po-
tential it can preserve air lead
ership by merely maintaining
laboratory activity.
That is why R. E. Gillmor,
president of the Sperry Gyro-
scope Co., in his testimony be-
fore the Senate Military Affairs
Committees sub committee on
War Mobilization, stressed for
the Aircraft Industries Associa-
ton the enormous lag between
conception and military use of
any plane.
Not a single plane designed
after Pearl Harbor saw service
