Here is an aircraft which offers genuine economy to operators on short-to-medium range routes. The Avro 748 combines a simple " fail-safe " structure, low wing for added safety and pressurised accommodation for passengers and crew with existing well proven components. It is ideally suited for operation from short airfields and can also operate from semi-prepared surfaces if required. At low initial cost this aircraft offers maximum economy and servicing simplicity with all the advantages of Rolls-Royce propeller turbine power plant. The Avro 748 will fly early next year and will be in service in 1961. It represents yet another major step by Hawker Siddeley Aviation towards bringing the cost of air transportation down to a minimum level.
