TURBO LINER TO DEMONSTRATE AT AIR SHOW The Allison Turbo-Liner, first commercial - type turbo-prop transport in America, will make daily demonstration flights during the National Aircraft Show, September 4th, sth and 6th at Cox Municipal Airport, Vandalia, Ohio. It is piloted by Allison Division test pilots Vernon Ford and Luther Stear, assisted by a flight crew consisting of flight engineer John Niederhauser, crew chief Art Sunderland and Aeroproducts representative William Brough. Equipped with two Allison T3B turbo-prop engines of 2925 horsepower each driving Aeroproducts propellers, the Turbo-Liner is a converted standard Convair 240 passenger liner. It was purchased by the General Motors Corporation as an engineering test bed for the development of Allison

turbo-prop engines and Aeroproducts propellers. During the show several representatives of the press, military services and aircraft industries will make their first flights in a U. S. turbo-prop aircraft. Since its maiden flight in December, 1950 the Turbo-Liner has made 430 flights, of which 225 were flown for engineering test purposes. In the other 205 flights Allison has demonstrated to an excess of 2000 passengers the improved performance which turbo-prop engines make possible in commercial and military transports. Compared with similar aircraft now flying with piston-type engines, tiie Turbo-Liner has a faster rate of climb and cruises approximately 20% faster, according to E. B. Newill, general manager of the Allison Division and vicepresident of General Motors. “However, with the newer Alli-

son T 56 turbo-prop engines much further performance improvements can be shown over present commercial aircraft,” he pointed out. The performance improvement results from the high power to weight ratio of a turbo-prop engine and the reduced drag of the nacelle required by the smaller diameter engine. Today’s best piston engines develop approximately one horsepower for each pound of weight compared with nearly two HP for each pound in the Turbo-Liner’s engines. The later T 56 turbo-prop engines develop nearly 2:5 HP per pound, Mr. Newill explained. Further advantages in the Tur-bo-Liner lie in the simplicity of operation and greater ease of maintenance. Also, the rotational rather than a reciprocating motion of the turbo-prop engine results in a sharply reduced vibration and noise level to the crew and passengers. The combination of these advantages makes turbo-prop powered aircraft like the Turbo-Liner, extremely acceptable for both commercial and military transport use. They make possible an aircrafe with economical operating costs, high load capabilities, greater speeds and the ability to take off and land on short runways. “The Turbo-Liner demonstrates possibilities for turbo-prop powered aircraft which are offered by today’s higher powered turboprop engines. Just as General Motors Train of Tomorrow pointed the way toward better rail transportation, the TurboLiner points to the future in lower cost, faster, more comfortable air transportation,” Mr. Newill asserted. Turbo-Liner Specification Data: Type engine two Allison T3B turbo-prop engines. Propellers Aeroproducts 13 foot 6 inch four-bladed props. Engine takeoff rating ESHP. Aircraft gross takeoff weight—--41,500 pounds. Fuel capacity Rate of climb at sea level—2 800 feet per minute (at 180 MPH TAS). Service ceiling (for 100 feet per minute positive rate of climb). Takeoff distance to break ground Takeoff distance over a 50 foot obstacle Maximum speed TAS. Average cruise speed TAS.
