Show TO INVADE NEW FRONTIER OF SPACE i s ill " ' 4 !

At 20,000 feet, where artificial air pressure inside the cabin will equalize the atmospheric conditions outside, the Ihip will encounter reduced air current friction, making greater speeds possible. Internal friction in the 14-cylinder Double-Row Cyclone engines has been reduced by equipping fast-moving parts with Timken toller bearings, which are also used on the huge landing wheels to nable tie transport to take off and land in small airports with a fall Jassecger load and three tons of mail and express. |
