...like the CTS's, makes you look twice. The Altima's interior is a little on the plasticky side, and for some reason its side mirrors don't fold away, but the price is right, around $23,000 for the V6 (a mere $17,000 for the basic 4 cyl. version). And the Altima is the first commonplace sedan to draw a second and third look on the road. You can't say that for Toyota's redesigned Camry, which costs more and has the decided feel of a lightweight...
...flying boat, once in the water it will remain there and, like a ship, emerge only for repairs in an aircraft drydock; 4) it possesses a full-size flight of stairs. It also has the world's most powerful airplane engines, four 1,500-h.p. twin-row, 14-cyl. Wright-Cyclones, any two of which will keep it aloft. At half power, they will fly the Atlantic Clipper, with 40 passengers plus 7,000 lb. of freight, 3,550 miles from New York to Southampton at 155 m.p.h. Every passenger will have a bed, converted from 77 daytime seats...
...Mayo Composite Aircraft," consists of two seaplanes-a small, swift, long-range ship securely locked on the back of a big short-range "mother" flying boat. The top plane, named Mercury, has a 73-ft. wing span, weighs 20,000 lb. loaded, is powered with four air-cooled 16-cyl. Napier-Half ord 340-h.p. engines, carries a total payload of 1,000 lb. (but no passengers) 3,500 mi. at 160 m.p.h. Its mother beneath, Maia, weighs 40,000 lb. loaded, has four big 9-cyl., 960-h.p. Bristol "Pegasus" radial engines, a wing span of 114 ft., speed...
...idea: let aircraft manufacturers produce a plane cheap enough for the average man, power it with an automobile engine. Last week his idea neared realization when Nicholas-Beazley Airplane Co. of Marshall, Mo. announced the Plymacoupe-a graceful high-wing cabin monoplane with a standard 6-cyl. Plymouth engine. Expected price...
...Plymouth engines cost about $150-one-tenth the price of an aircraft engine of similar power. The weight is about double. Several manufacturers, notably Wiley Post Aircraft Co. of Oklahoma, have experimented with the Ford 4-cyl. engine for airplane use. Others have tried motorcycle engines. Month ago a midget plane called Drone, powered with a 16-h. p. motorcycle engine, caused a mild sensation in London (TIME, May 6). Last week Austrian Pilot Robert Kronfeld flew from London to Paris, at a fuel cost of $1.47, in a glider with a 5-h. p. motorcycle engine...
