OCTOBER 31ST, I946 FLIGHT Advertisements. 25 THE PORTSMOUTH MAJOR takes off in 134 yards from a runway, or 160 yards from dry grass, climbs at the rate of over 1,100 feet per minute and can therefore operate from either airports or small improvised landing fields. The tricycle undercarriage, with its low-pressure tyres, efficient brakes and steerable nosewheel operated by the control wheel, makes even the most awkward landings, in confined spaces or across wind, safe, simple and easy to perform. Variable-pitch airscrews, which enhance the take-off and climb, also give high cruising speed for low power, permitting maximum range with minimum fuel consumption. On one engine and with full load aboard, the Aerocar Major climbs at 230 feet per minute at sea level, an importapt safety factor which gives further confidence when taking off. Full details of this outstanding aircraft from :— PORTSMOUTH AVIATION LIMITED THE AIRPORT, PORTSMOUTH. TEL.: PORTSMOUTH 74374
