10 FLIGHT 23 FEBRUARY 1950 -j IT ISN'T ONLY FOR THE LOOK OF THE THING 0-0002 inches — and how much it means Roughness tests on aerofoils have shown that for a jet transport aircraft with a design payload and range of 14,000 lb. at 3,000 nautical miles the drag increase resulting from a poor finish may mean a loss of payload of 7,000 lb. — not exactly a small proportion. When critical roughness exceeds 00005 inches this loss may well be much greater. • • DOCKERS' AIRCRAFT FINISHES give less than 0-0003 inches critical roughness. Easily maintained, they keep drag to a minimum with a consequent increase in payload. Furthermore, their adhesion, gloss retention and durability are excellent under all operating conditions. Executives are invited to write for full technical information on any Dockers' Aircraft Finish. Fully A.I.D. and A.R.B. Approved.
