^^^^M^S^ FLIGHT International, 13 February I964\ "Lose time in flight and you can double the delay to final ET.A. Once you've lost your place in the servicing queue you're waiting for ground equipment right along the route." 'What about an Airborne Auxiliary Power Plant in every aircraft? Look at the Hawker Siddeley Trident—it's got a Bristol Siddeley auxiliary that makes it independent of starting trucks and most ground services." "But think of the weight penalty." 'Hardly more than ram air turbines—which wouldn't help «wn here. You see, an A.A.P.P. gives you the best of both worlds: power on the ground and emergency power in flight." "'_e'l. it sounds a good idea. But then you've got extraec iuipment to service." "Bristol Siddeley's A.A.P.P's are designed on the 'fit and forget' policy—maintenance really has been cut to a mini- mum. So there are no problems on that score." "I suppose they're just testing them in the Trident?" "No — they're already in service with aircraft like the Handley Page Victor and the Canadair CL44. The B.A.C. TSR2 and Short Belfast will have them, too." "Well, these units are certainly coming from the right stable. Nobody else has Bristol Siddeley's know-how on gas turbines." "And they offer a range of A.A.P.P's with excellent perfor- mance and power-to-weight ratio. Why don't you put your problems to them now — at the design stage."
