...comparable (33,000-40,000 Ibs. thrust) U.S.-built power plant. The potential drain on the U.S. balance of payments may tip the decision in favor of General Electric's CF6, which was derived from G.E.'s TF39, designed for Lockheed's far larger C-5A military transport...
...months ago, Henry Braun hardly seemed to be risking a thing. He was married, had two children and, at 37, was two years above what he thought to be the draft age. This month Braun, a poet and an assistant English professor at Temple University, was reclassified from 5A (overage) to 1A. The move was a powerful one, since it made him eligible for conscription into military service...
...runways too short for smaller, four-engine airliners, is the result of the plane's major technological advance: Lockheed will use three 33,000-lb.-thrust turbofan engines (two mounted under the wings and one in the tail) like the ones slated for its huge C-5A military transport...
...France, Alitalia, Irish International Airlines, KLM and Air-India. Most of the carriers prefer a first-and tourist-class seating that allows for 350 to 362 passengers. To Boeing, which had originally planned the 747 as a military transport that would be similar to Lockheed's successful C-5A, this almost negates the whole idea of the nine-abreast economy airliners. To prove the point, Boeing last week lined up 490 employees, photographed them (see cut) alongside a mock-up of the 747 to dramatize the capacity that the 747 is capable of carrying...
Lift for the SST. The company has also revved up its relations with the Pentagon, which stunned Boeing by awarding the TFX (now F-lll) fighter to General Dynamics in 1962 and the giant C-5A cargo plane to Lockheed last year. Boeing's massive research and development program should help it to capture a bigger share of aerospace and defense work. Among the potential $1 billion-plus projects up for grabs: the AMSA (advanced manned strategic aircraft) bomber project...
