& FLIGHT, 2S August 1959 Hi! faster with that feed! As jet airliners get bigger, the more fuel they carry and the faster it needs to be fed in. At 200 of the world's airfields, Shell hydrant systems provide fast, safe fuelling for long-range airliners. The first hydrant systems were installed by Shell over 25 years ago, and in 1947, anticipating the demands of a new generation of long distance airliners for greater fuel uplifts, Shell commissioned the first large-scale hydrant fuelling installation. Since then, Shell Research has been constantly at work developing and perfecting hydrants. By the end of 1959 over 1,000 jet and prop-jet airliners are expected to be in service and the largest of them can carry up to 20,000 gallons of fuel. Modern Shell hydrant systems meet the needs of jet airliners of all types and are designed to fuel several of these aircraft simultaneously, delivering fuel to each aircraft as fast as it is wanted at speeds up to 1,000 gallons per minute per aircraft. In this way peak traffic demands will be met while keeping time on the ground to a minimum. you can be sure of Shell
