said of his friend in the 1940s "Every
major aircraft in the sky has some

There are many rumours floating about in regard to
sleeve-valve engines being produced in the United States,
and it is known that Mr. Jack Northrop has been inter
ested in the Diesel engine. However, his interest is perhaps
only of a minor kind, as we hear that he is now forming a
new company for the manufacture of aeroplanes. In...

So Lindbergh's Ryan high-wing monoplane, Junkers'
and Rohrbach's structural patents, Ford's Stout-designed
metal trimotor (in Fokker's wooden pattern) and then
Jack Northrop's streamlined mailplanes all came together
in the production of the Boeing B.247. They went on, in
fuller flower, in the classic Douglas DC-1 prototype first
flown by Carl Cover at Sa...

But the most intriguing puzzle about the new Northrop
flying model is its aerodynamic controls. The plan view
shows the pronounced sweep-back common to all tailless
aircraft. But, in addition. Jack Northrop has tilted his
wing tips down at an angle of roughly 45 deg. The
thought which comes to mind immediately is that this
has been done so that the control surfaces on the trailing
edges of ...

designed for ranges as great as 12,000 miles and cruising
speeds as high as 450 m.p.h., with a maximum of 550

told this observer of his firm conviction that: "In the
extremely long-range category, the turboprop comes nearer
to combining the speed of the jet with the range of the

 ...there any immediate fear in this rush for conven-

In any case, it's a shame to see Jack Northrop's splendid
Flying Wing go by the boards. And just as the jet version,
the YB-49, was showing astounding performance.
