PROVING GROUND FOR JET VTO

[[image]]
This $175,000 dual-purpose test cell is Ryan's newest research tool. It has important applications to both aircraft design and to metallurgical research...the latter in connection with development of high-temperature components of all types of power plants for aircraft and missiles. Unique in concept, the new cell is specifically designed to test jet engines in the vertical position--as they will operate in VTO (vertical take-off) airplanes. It can test the largest jet engines and afterburners in either horizontal or vertical position.

Another Example of How RYAN BUILDS BETTER
This new jet engine test cell is one of many specialized research facilities used in developing the Ryan-designed jet-powered vertical take-off airplane now being built for the U.S. Air Force.

One of the most exciting and unusual aeronautical projects ever conceived, Ryan's jet VTO is a challenging new concept in military aircraft. It is typical of Ryan's forward-looking research, development and production program in aircraft--in power plants--and in electronics.

For thirty-two years Ryan has been in the forefront of aeronautical progress. Specialized, ingenious and versatile, Ryan excels in the ability to create and produce complex, high quality products at low cost--and deliver them on time.
