18 FLIGHT 5 JUNE 1959 Only the VANGUARD ; > has this low-cost story THE CONCLUSIONS to be drawn from this simple graph are among the most significant ever put to airline operators. It shows at a glance that the Vickers Vanguard will break even on total costs (indirect costs are taken as 100 per cent of direct) with passenger loads no higher than those actually carried by Viscounts today. With three tons of freight the passenger break even requirement can be as low as 21 people falling to only 8 passengers when five tons of freight is carried for 500 miles. The Vanguard is a profit- able aircraft on today's payloads yet it has room for the inevitable expansion of traffic which, even at a modest progress, makes the Vanguard the biggest potential money earner ever built. In addition to its outstanding economy, the Vanguard is fully competitive in speed (425 m.p.h. cruise), and its turbo-prop flexibility will enable it to maintain schedules as good as any, while allowing for realistic traffic conditions. Off all the airliners only the Vanguard has all these features BREAK EVEN NEED-CURRENT TOURIST RATE No. of PASSENGERS (European Economy Class Capacity—139) 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 JIt T -1Iv l\\IE 5 b" s ^> **- !•».. b^ := ^_ ••• '—• MM — as D 500 1000 1500 JL mm •PASSENGERS ONLY PASSENGERS + 250 Ib.
