22 MAY 1959 FLIGHT MATCH ED-TO-TASK JET-PROP ENGINES The Napier 3500 e.h.p. engines that power the Canadair-Convair '540' are the only jet-props specifically designed for the particularly strenuous up-and-down life of short stage operations. The sec- tionalized design of these powerful new engines make them singularly easy to service and maintain. 4 REDUCED EN-ROUTEGROUND TIME LOSSES The Canadair-Convair '540' eliminates numerous possible time delays at en-route stops: passenger handling is expedited ... time consuming engine warm- ups are unnecessary ... as many as 6 route stops can be made without refuelling. FASTER FLYING, QUICKER CLIMBING Today's passengers want to make time. The Canadair-Convair '540' is the fastest aircraft in its class, flying at speeds up to 340 m.p.h. It's off the ground in a flash and takes only 6.4 minutes to climb to an operating level of 10,000 feet. EXTRA CARGO SPACE FOR EXTRA PROFITS The Canadair-Convair '540' has 402 cubic feet of easily accessible cargo space: enough for two tons of additional payload that can be carried with no operating penalty. MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU: the Canadair-Convair '540' is a product of the combined experience and facilities of two of the world's great aircraft producers—Canadair Limited of Canada and Convair—both members of the General Dynamics family of companies. THE CANADAIR-CONVAIR '54O' WILL SOON TOUR WESTERN EUROPE For full information about the new aircraft or the tour, please contact our European Representative, J. H.
