18 SEPTEMBER 1959 FLIGHT 25 Only the VANGUARD has this future while making money right from the start THE VIGKERS VANGUARD is designed for grow- ing traffic, yet it will make profits right from its introduction with payloads no bigger than those carried by Viscounts today. This is clearly shown in the illustration. Profit begins with the first 500-mile trip carrying no more than 42 passengers and 640 lb of freight. Even on modest estimates of traffic and freight increases, its profits will grow consider- ably with the years. Assuming a 10% increase per annum in traffic, and 7% in freight, annual and cumula- tive profit at the end of seven years is remark- ably high. By employing the Vanguard's cheap-fare possibilities, payloads and profits could be much higher.
