Flight, 30 March 1950 AT 68 An aircraft for the far-seeing operator The Viscount offers four-engine safety in a medium size air liner. It has excellent hand- ling qualities in normal conditions of flying and a first rate asymmetric performance on two engines only. Lack of vibration and reduced noise give a new high standard in air travel comfort for passengers and less fa- tigue for the crew. Lower airframe maintenance costs also result from the vibrationless performance. 1HI Fl/Mf PBOPHIE The four Rolls-Royce Dart propeller tur- bines use kerosene, carried in crash-proof tanks — a safety factor that will be appreciated both by passengers and crew. "FtFTY-THAIM The interior layout provides generous, comfortable and airy accommodation for either 40 or 53 passen- gers. Light hand-luggage racks in the cabin supplement ample freight and baggage space fore and aft. 1VUIHI A/fi UHIR VICKERS-ARMSTRONGS LIMITED V1CKERS HOUSE • BROADWAY • LONDON
