Entrepreneurs of upper New England voice strong disagreement, especially on the more exposed slopes such as Manchester, Vermont.

On the upper deck of the double-decked fuselage (see cut), the plane will carry 92 passengers. On the lower deck, connected by a circular staircase, it can carry another 76 passengers. Though the Constitution was built expressly for the Navy (which has another one on order), Lockheed has high hopes for it as a commercial plane. At nearly the same cruising speed (300 m.p.h.) as the Constellation...
