Why is Weatherhead Sponsoring the first JET PROPULSION RACE? [image of the weatherhead trophy] THE WEATHERHEAD TROPHY "SPIRIT OF JET PROPULSION" The Weatherhead "Sprit of Jet Propulsion" Trophy, which will be presented to the winner of the Jet Propulsion Race at the National Air Races, was designed and sculptures by the great American artist Walter A. Sinz. The finished trophy which was cast in bronze and gold plated, stands 42" high. It will pass from winner to winner, each year. [image of two boys pointing to an airplane flying] Our interest in the Jet Propulsion Race stems not alone from our close association with the aircraft industry, or from our insistence upon being first in the field. . . with new developments. It is a source of power that will someday be widely used by all transportation and industry. We are so confident of its widespread acceptance and use in the years to come that we assigned Weatherhead engineers to the task of working on jet power developments many months ago, and their work on this project will continue. Our sponsorship of the Jet Propulsion Race at the National Air Races, is a public testimony of our interest in Jet Power. Even more concrete evidence of our interest and progress will be forthcoming.
