GENTLEMEN PASSENGER stance, the union is made quite early on, and the design is such that the centre-section and front fuselage can be considered as integral. Massive construction has always been characteristic of Handley Page aircraft and, although the design factor in the main is but 1.15 the ultimate flight factor for gust cases at 82,000 lb is 4), examination of the wings does give one the impression of enormous strength. Two-spar structure is used throughout the wings, all spars, with the exception of the centre-section front member which is of girder truss form, being of dia- phragm type. Inter-spar chordal ribs dividing the fuel of range against payload at 25,000ft. for the 40-seat version with a basic empty weight of 53,1371b. 5O0 IOOO 1500 2OOO 25OO 30OO 3SOO RANGE-STILL-AIR MILES HERMES IV Whilst in no way destroying the graceful lines of the aircraft, our artist, F.
