The new CURTISS- WRIGHT
ZHHWJ:

The new standard Of low noise level established
By the CurtiSs Wright Zephyr urbojet engine was
demonstrated to representatives Of leading airneS
and airframe manufacturers on July 16 and II at
Reno, Nevada under conditions closely Stimulating
those Of large metropolitan airport areas. The low
noise level characteristics of the Zephyr not only
make this engine superior to other jet engines, but
place the Zephyr well below the noise levels cur
rently experienced with piSton-engine transports
Even lower noise levels will be achieved as result
of current developments now being evaluated.
The Zephyr is a new concept turbojet which es-
tablishes the trend for jet engines of the future 1t
is joint engineering development of Curtiss Wright
and the Bristol Aeroplane Company, Ltd. of
England.
Over the last decade the jet engine has progressed
under the sponsorship of our military services. To
provide for the satisfactory accomplishment of mill
tay missions, the emphasis of design and develop
ment engineers has been directed to maximum
performance. This emphasis has forced engineers
to resort to increasingly high jet velocity, high fuel
consumption and high turbine temperature to satisfy
the ever increasing military need for performance at
high superSonic speeds. In meeting immediate mill
tary requirements, the jet engine has become ex-
pensive to build and operate and has fallen short in
PuOuS oSSSPLdllCS anu CLhSlCHSy AOI SOululSISidl
application.
More Efficient Thrust
A major feature of the Zephyr, is its low jet
velocity. The propulsion of jet engine comes from
the jet of hot gases directed rearward from the en-
CINE. A small highvelocity jet is not as efficient as
large low-velociy jet. every marine engineer
knows that large, square, low-Speed propeller on
vessel gives more efficient thrust than mall,
high-speed propeller.) In the Zephyr design, the
engine airow characteristics were so selected that
large lowveocy jet is produced with the resultant
maximum propulsion efficiency and best overall
economy. This low jet velocity results in the low
noise level of the engine.
Another key feature for quiet, low-velocity jet
is low temperature in the turbine which drives the
compressor supplying air to the combustion
chamber. In the military turbojet it has been neces-
sary to increase the temperature to get higher thrust
for supersonic operation In concentrating on high
power for military application during the past
decade, engineers have of necessity reSorted to high
temperatures and high temperature alloys that re-
qure the use of cobalt, columbian, molybdenum,
and other critical and expensive materials that are
in short supply
Thus, in adapting military type engines to COM
mercial service where performance is obtained
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-08-01

through the medium of high turbine temperatures,
the airline operator must accept the cost and risk Of
hghtemperature distortion high-temperature creep,
high-temperature fatigue and the resultant high
maintenance costs. For example, turbine blades sub
ect to these very high temperatures may have to be
replaced at each overhaul Of the engine In such
cases the short life of these blades will limit the
operating life of the engine. In the Zephyr, tempera-
lures will be low and blade life will be independent
of temperature. This factor will contribute greatly to
reliability, long overhaul periods and low mainte-
nance cost.
Fewer Parts Lower Maintenance
The basic design Of the Zephyr is based on a
minimum number of parts. In the compressor and
turbine area alone, the Zephyr has onethird fewer
blades than in the conventional military type turbo-
jet. This results in an engine lower in first cost
which is important because blades amount to as
much as 80 percent of the total cost of the engine
The fewer number of blades also result in an engine
of lower maintenance cost The blades in the Zephyr
have demonstrated their ability to sustain foreign
object damage without failure or replacement; thus,
the compound effect of fewer, more durable blades
will significantly contribute to lower parts replace
ment and reduced maintenance costs.
In addition to lower 6rSt cost and lower malnte-
nance costs, the Zephyr has lower operating cost
because it uses less fuel. In taxing and ground
operation, it uses 40 percent less fuel than military
type jet engines In climb and cruise, it uses per-
cent less fuel In transcontinental flight from New
York to Los Angeles the lower fuel consumption
Of the Zephyr will amount to 5000 pounds of fuel
saved per airplane.
The small number of compressor and turbine
blades and the low-temperature features of the
Zephyr also help to provide an engine of lighter
weight. A Zephyr engine will weigh from $50 to
1900 pounds less than competing military type en-
gnes. This lower engine weight will reduce the
gross weight of the aipane by $500 to 1000 pounds.
This weight reduction will again contribute to the

economies of airplane operation by reducing the
fuel requirements for every flight
Because Of the low operating temperature the
Zephyr has reserve power for aiports above sea
level and at atmospheric temperatures above 60oF.
For example: on 1000F. day, long-range con-
tinental jet transport powered by Zephyr engines
will take-off with full payload from Denver,
Colorado an elevation of $3.50 feet At airports
at attitudes above sea level or when the temperature
is above 600F., the Zephyrpowered airliner will not
be compelled to reduce its payload. Also because
of this reserve power the arlner using Zephyr en-
gneS will operate from existing airport runways.
In addition, the Zephyr is fitted with thrust
reverser that allows the airplane to be stopped on
dry runway in $3.50 less runway distance and on an
icy runway in 1919 less runway distance. This de-
vice viii permit the aircraft to approach the airport
at higher altitude and by use of the thrust reverser
as air brake, more direct and quiet landing can
be made. The use Of ;tais device also will provide
instant availability Of full power fer emergency go
around.
Points the Way for the Future
In summarizing, it is apparent that the Zephyr
commercial turbojet varies widely from the current
military type engines. In the past decade, the re-
quirementS Of the military have compelled jet
engine development to go III the direction of high
temperature and high fuel consumption to obtain
high thrust, and high engine weight to provide super
sonic flight capability essential to modern defense.
On the other hand, commercial air transportation
has reached the status and volume that it can
support equipment designed TO meet commercial
standards of reliability, economy and quietnesS
which essential for the airline operator, airline
passenger, airport commissioner and the airline in
weston. The Zephyr is commercial engine, tailored
TO meet the requirements of the commercial airline
industry.
The Zephyr points the way to the development
of military turbojet engines in the next decade.

Other delegations (including
up until now the United States
have insisted that no steps could
be taken before the withdrawal
was complete.
Mr.. Pearson's proposal offers
a possible bridge between this
viewpoint and Israeli demands
for security.
Faces Arab Opposition
Assuming that the Canadian
plan gains support among the
more moderate delegations, il
still will face stiff opposition
from several quarters. The
shrillest objections can be ex-
pected from the Arab states to
the use of the U.N. force in any
way which in their view in

including the right to wage
war against Israel. In this they

Suicide Fails
Detective Martin Brightmar
said Soderquist told him he hac
tried to kill himself just before
landing by taking two home
made cyanide pills. However, the
suicide attempt failed, appar-
emily because the gelatin cap
sules were too thick and did iot
dissolve in Soderquist's stomach
in time.
At the hospital, Soderquist
told reporters:
II always knew I could do it
I've wanted to do something Ike
this for years.
II did it to show everyone
could fly"
He denied there was any dan
ger. saying: Il had control OF
the plane all the time"
Had Never Soloed
James Dolezal, Soderquist' s
flight instructor, said the Incl
dent started as a routine flying
lesson for the youth, who never
had soloed but had been given
about is hours pilot training
Mr.. Dolezal said Soderquist
pointed a gun at him, then
handed him a note ordering him
from the plane.
II certainly hope I do no,

the serious work of the United
Nations.
The behind scenes atmosphere
however, is reported to be quite
different. In their private con-
versations, many delegates have
felt that there still is enough
r'give" at critical points to hold
out hope of progress toward a
solution Of the Arab-Israel con-
Iflict.
AS Western delegates see it
the main achievement so far has
been to head off extreme reme-
dies.
Moderation Support Gains
At the end of yesterdays ses-
sion, support for a more moder-
ate solution seemed to be grow
ing. And before the General De-
bate resumes tomorrow after
noon, there is hope that COM
promise middle course" may be
charted which stands a chance
of winning support of two-thirds
Iof the Assembly members.
The latest champion of mod
eration to weigh in yesterday
Twas Canada's External Affairs
Minister Lester B. Pearson. Mr.
Pearson, who played a leading
role in creating the United Ma
Itions emergency force in the
Middle East, spoke up in the
closing moments of the debate
in favor of a more long-range
look at the problem confronting
the U.N.
1t was not only problem OF
getting Israeli troops to with
draw from Egypt, he said. There
was also the matter of making
arrangement here" which would
become effective after the with
drawal was completed.
Although Israel had no right
to attach conditions to it's COM
pliance with the U.N. withdrawal
order, no such limitation applied
to the U.N. itself, Mr.. Pearson
thought. The General Assembly
had not only the right, but "per-
lhaps even the duty" to link this
problem with the larger one OF
llong-range security in the area
FavOrs l949 Accord
The solution he suggested: A
return to full experimentation OF
the l949 armistice agreement be-
tween Egypt and Israel tan
agreement which has never been
fully adhered to by either side)
Compliance with the armistice
provisions and resolutions of the
General Assembly should be
supervised and secured" by the
United Nations itself.
The new note in this proposal
is the suggestion that the AS
sembly should take a decision on
these matters at this time, with

Kutznetsov, yesterday denounced
all suggestions relating to the
role Of the U.N. force as a
Western plot to restore colo
nialist rule in the Middle East.
In the face of these objections.
the present debate promises to
be a long and bitter one.
