...mechanical wizard named Felix Wankel invented it in 1954, but it took NSU 13 years of tinkering to bring the "Wankel engine" to its present stage. It is a non-piston gas engine consisting of a three-cornered rotor that swirls in a combustion chamber shaped like a fat-waisted figure eight. Doing away with the stop-and-start movements of the piston engine saves valuable power for a continuous circular movement. The RO 80 will feature two half-liter engines, placed side by side, yet even this will only take up half as much space as a conventional motor...
Bonanza is the strongest of the three. Flying popular routes in California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah, it retired its last piston plane in 1960, has attracted passengers with imaginative fare plans. Last year passenger totals rose 26.8%, to 848,000, and the company earned $530,000 on revenues of $18 million.

Converse will be vice chairman of the merged airline, and Henry its president...

That made National Airlines and it is making Frontier...
...They Can Handle." With a current fleet of 25 jet planes, five turboprops and 160 older piston models, the supplemental are shedding their seat-of-the-pants image. One evidence is Wall Street's increasing interest. Nashville-based Capitol International Airways (1966 sales: $31 million) and Miami-based Saturn Airways (1966 sales: $27 million) both went public last month. Overseas National Airways (1966 sales: $11 million) plans to float a 470,000-share offering this week. Shares of Trans International Airlines (1966 revenue: $31 million) have jumped from $23 to $48 in the over-the-counter market since...
