FLIGHT, 15 May 1959 ROTODYNE TO TRAVEL This aircraft represents leadership for Britain in the newest field of air transport. First, because it's first—the first true vertical take-off airliner; it can operate high-load passenger, freight or mixed services from airfields no bigger than a couple of tennis courts, over stage lengths up to some 400 miles. Second—because it revolutionises accepted ideas of rotary-wing operating economics. For years now heli- copters have been acknowledged as expensive to operate: but the Rotodyne, which does all that helicopters can do and more, is not a helicopter—and is a sound economic proposition. Third, the Rotodyne is the world's fastest rotary-wing aircraft, and holds a new world record to prove it. The Rotodyne's great superiority in speed—and in safety—is an important factor in its operational effectiveness. In the Fairey Rotodyne we see the promise of tomorrow's airbus systems. Air travel everyday, everywhere. Look forward to Rotodyne travel! FAIREY FAIREY AVIATION LTD HAYES • MIDDLESEX A Subsidiary of The Fairey Company Limited • .
