Their ef forts have met with one delay after another, and the British have yet to build even a test model of the RollsRoyce engine that is supposed to power the plane. As matters stand, the Douglas DC-10 should be flying first, probably by late 1970 or early 1971. Airline men expect it to go into regular service...
