LONDON TO NEW YORK IN TWO HOURS AT 2,000 MILES AN HOUR Willing To Buy Factories

UK'S AMAZING "RAMLINER" Russia Wants

Twice The Size

Of Britannia And Economical

London, Sept. 14.

A British firm has put up to the Ministry of Supply suggestions for a revolutionary type of air- liner which, they say, could take 150 passen. gers from London to New York in two hours, flying at 2,000 miles-an-hour at a height of 80,000 feet.

It would be twice the size of the Britannia, but just as economical to operate, and it could be in service in the next ten years.

The secret of its amazing performance would be two

The project has been put forward by the Bristol-Siddeley group, and BOAC are, interested. The chairman, Sir Arnold Hall, formerly Director of the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough, says it is the most promising of a number of suggestions for supersonice of airliner could

"We have been waiting for a break-through" he says,

"and this could well be it."

The "Bamliner" as it hus been called was designed by a team led by Dr Robin Jamison. The designers claim that normal runways would surve for take-off and landing by means of the six conventional jet engines.

Supersonic Flight

The aircraft would have no windows, owing to the heating of the fuselage during supersonic flight. In order to cool the fuselage it is proposed to circulate fuel round it and also the wings.

The ramjet engine dispenses with the complications of the conventional jet. It is simply a tube, which achieves compression by the speed at which the air enters the front part. It is the kind of power unit which is required for space travel when it comes.

It is a matter of pride that British designers are in ad- vance of the Russians and Americans in the revolu- tionary aircraft-London Express Service.
