Martin optimistic on jet propulsion in commercial planes
Glenn L. Martin said the jet propulsion principle used in the army’s new experimental combat plane holds a very definite future in civilian aviation as well as military. He noted current high fuel consumption but predicted that jet propulsion, once developed beyond the experimental stage, will offer higher speed for the same fuel. He added that propeller planes will always have advantages, but jet propulsion provides extremely high speed.
