14 FLIGHT 8 JULY 1960 . 4 Global freighter \ I THE Short SC.5 BRITANNIC Most versatile, most capacious transport aircraft in the world Large missiles, armoured vehicles, radar installations ramp-loaded without crating, rushed distances up to 4,000 miles non-stop, then smoothly unloaded and ready; troop detachments, quickly embarked and as quickly in action. This is the strategic military role of the Short turboprop Britannic, designed to meet the vital needs of the future, anywhere. In civil operation the Britannic's versatility and immense cargo capacity can make air freighting a major world industry. With cargo volume of 10,000 cubic feet, it has impressive medium and long range ability, carrying 40 tons at 350 miles an hour for 1,000 miles, or 15 tons for 4,000 miles. • These qualities, plus the turboprop economy of the four Rolls-Royce Tyne R Ty.12 engines, make the Britannic a formidable contender for the air freight market of the future.
