...Rolls-Royce Conway by-pass jet engine, in which part of the air is passed around the combustion chambers directly into the tail cone, thus producing greater, more economical thrust, is highly praised by U.S. engineers. The Vickers Viscount airliner now flying on U.S. air routes has done so well that some 240 have been sold. Vickers is currently working on a bigger model called the Vanguard...
