-16 Advertisements. FLIGHT OCTOBER 24TH, 1946 616 H.P.H. WITH NORAL ALUMINIUM ALLOYS r Another triumph for British aircraft designers. The . credit for the Gloster Meteor's achievement is shared by many: the makers, the R.A.F., the men who under test conditions flew faster than man has ever flown before. At these speeds, approaching .that of sound, compressi- bility effects supervene, thus subjecting the aircraft to severe buffeting. Loads of unpredictable magnitude are imposed, and only materials of proved reliability could be employed in construction of the aircraft. Put to test, Noral alloys gave a flawless performance.
