Flight, 6 February 1959 Allison Prop-Jet Engines and Aeroproducts Turbo-Propellers... Profitable Power Team for More than 75% of all Jet-Age Transportation T1 Ihe Allison-powered Lockheed Electra is now joining the jet-age fleets of 15 airlines. It has proved that, in addition to its long-range capabilities, it brings jet-age superiority with economy on short to medium ranges which make up more than 75 % of all travel by air. The greater efficiency of jet-plus-prop provides outstanding take-off, climb, cruise and landing performance. The reverse thrust produced by the Aeroproducts Turbo-Propeller assures positive stops on short, wet or icy runways. Low vibration and sound levels please the passenger as well as the airport neighbour. The Allison Model 501 prop-jet engine, with its matched Aeroproducts Turbo-Propeller provides a GM jet-power team with performance far beyond any prop-jet powerplant now in commercial service. %LISON PPOP-UET POWER BACKED BY THE WORLDWIDE RESOURCES OF GENERAL MOTORS GENERAL MOTORS
