666 Air Force Planes
Produced inNovembeI
For Postwar Record
$50 to 800 q Month
Through Mid-1954 Seen;
Showdown Denied
By John A. Giles

Deliveries OF aircraft to the Air
Force last month totaled 666
'airplanes-the highest point in
numbers since World War II.
Undersecretary of the Air Force
Roswell L. Gilpatric, disclosing the
production figures today, said ac-
Iceptances of aircraft next month
would approach. $50.
$50 far as we can see now II
will remain at the 10000 a
month level at least through mid
1854" he said.
Mr.. Gilpatric emphatically de-
MED some published reports that
the Air Forces airplane produc-
ton program was undergoing an
othre "stretch-out or showdown. y
He recalled that he stated last
September that certain produc-
ton delays and engineering diff
ficulties were being encountered
with new models.
Few Being Held Up.
"The story on the troubles with
the Northrop F-89 Scorpion fight
er is well known. but the total
number of new airplanes which
are being held up as a result is
relatively small" he declared.
He added that many of the pro-
duction difficulties with the J-55
Sapphire engine program had
been overcome and that although
the second source of these en-
gines-Buick-is not yet produc-
ing in quantity. "the combined
output of the two sources will be
sufficient to meet the engine in
|stallation requirements of both
the Republic F-84F and the Glenn
Martin B-57 Canberra." Wright
Aeronautical is the primary pro-
ducer.
Production of the J-65 engines
has been scheduled so a minimum
quantity will be produced contain
ing aluminium blades, since they
vibrate and restrict operations in
a limited range. he said. This
difficulty will be overcome with the
installation of steel blades.
Two BAT Wings.
"Our other two major programs
in terms of volume, The North
American F-86 fighter and the
Boeing BAT medium bomber. are
in good shape" Mr.. Gilpatric said.
adding that two BAT wings were
now in existence.
The 666 plane figure does not
include the Navy and Marine
Corps but does include aircraft
bought by the Air Force for the
Army and the arms aio program.
In air frame weight November
production totalled nearly 8 mil
lion pounds, Mr.. Gilpatric as
serted.
