2 FLIGHT International, 16 August 1%^ Mi mM • • • • • The newly-announced Boeing 707-320C eargo-jet represents an important air freight breakthrough. For the first time, air cargo will be able to move in volume at pure-jet speeds. Shippers will enjoy the advantages of "next morning" deliveries in volume, across a continent, or an ocean. The latest member of the Boeing jet family, the -320C is a development of the 707-320B turbofan Interconti nental. It retains all major systems and components, thus allowing the economy of standardized spare parts, ground handling equipment and training. Already purchased by two carriers — Pan American and World Airways — the -320C has a cargo payload of more than 45 tons over a range of 3500 miles. The upper deck is readily convertible to all-passenger, all- cargo or combination configurations. Cruise speed with full payload is 575 mph. The brilliant new 707-320C was designed to provide the lowest cost-per-mile cargo operation and the highest reliability. It will open a new chapter in world-wide air cargo growth when it goes into service next year with Pan American World Airways and World Airways.
