This now 40-passenger transport is a major advancement in commercial aviation. It fly- ing characteristics, operating advantages, case of maintenance, and paksenger conifort are the result of sound engineering guided by such facors as these:

The basic design of the Convair-Liner was modified to meet the C.A.T.C. requirements. The result, as you will Brig on this page) is art airliner which operates at an exceptionally safely factor.

FUNCTIONAL EFFICIENCY

Integral ramps

Passenger self-service

Faster Ibading and unloading

Among many aitvantages of the Convair-Liner which appeal both to airlines management and the flying publle are the Convair-Liner integral lotting ramp and cabin arrangement. They are designed to save time,

Convoit-Liner passengers are offered the choice of carrying their Juggage nuaud or checking it in the usuni manner.

With either of the loading plans described here, 40 passengers can board the plane, deposit their own luggage in a luggage compartment, and, besputed in a few seconds over 3 minutes. The same number

uf passengers can deplane In less than 3 minutes!

This high degree of efficiency is particularly time-saving at inter- mediate points where a number of terminating passengers deplane, and new passengers go aboard. The operation is a smooth, fast, and pleasant experience for passengers.

Those leaving the plane need not sit and wait for a portable ramp to be wheeled up. Nor do they have to wait in the terminal for their luggage to be brought to them. New passengers do not have the annoyance of a long wait before they go aboard.

HIGH-COMFORT CABIN

Pressurized.

Air Conditioned

Sound-proofed

The Convair-Liner is the first twin-chgine airliner, which, i addition to 300-anllä-për-hour speed, attracts passengers with the corn- forts of pressurization, modern air conditioning, improved sound-proof-, ing, more restful seats and better vision. This completely integrated systeth comprises the Convair-Liner's High-Comfort Cabin, a notable advance in twin-engine air travel.

Pressurization in the Convair-Einer is automatic. At thike-off, pilot pre-nots tie pressure control to the altitude of the destination airport. Required pressure changes are then accomplished gradually during.flight: This makes increased block-to-block speeda possible by permitting folter climbs and descents without passenger discomfort. Equaly Im- portant; it asaltres passenger comfort af high alfitudes: title Convair-Liner holds sen-level cabin altitude up to an airplane altitude of 7200 feat.

At higher altitudes, the ratio of actual height to cabin height variés in the proportions indicated on the graph above Rapid altitude changes at heights over 7200 feet may be avoided by, presetting the pressure con- trol dials. The pressurization system also controls, air-conditioning (fresh air, cooling, healing; dehumidifying), thus giving the Convälf-Liner a completely intergrated altitude-conditioning system........fruly a High- Comfort Cabin,
