Of course, puts pressure on the
operator to conf1ne the length of

The addition of two more gas
tanks has brought his plane up to
the maximum weight permitted

plane it requires nearly a 300-foot
run before taking off.
In block tests, DR.. Goode has
kept his engines running non

factors will influence his record
