...wing surface was not broad enough; the four jet engines were set too far for ward, thereby creating exhausts that swept over the tail structure and would shorten its life span; the fuselage needed to be longer to increase passenger capacity. Working against the deadline, Boeing engineers went back to the drafting board.

Now 306 ft. long, or twice the length...

Though it will not necessarily shorten the time between high school and practice, it provides four years of undergraduate and two of graduate work, capped with a "master of medical science'' degree. Brown's reasoning: many men headed toward a medical-science career need extra time to decide whether to go to the bedside with an M.D. or into the laboratory with a Ph.D. Under the Brown plan they can go either way and finish in two more...
