MR. KENDRICK here shows ways in which improved engineering and better cooperation between engineering and operations personnel may serve to reduce the air cargo rates.This investigation of air cargo planes consists of the following general topics: The first step toward providing good service at low cost will be accomplished automatically by the establishment of regular cargo service. The next step is to bring about greater cooperation between the operators and engineers, to inoculate the engineers with the importance of convenience in handling and maintenance. Finally, improvements in aerodynamic refinement and structural weight, as well as increased airplane size to meet the needs, will result in further reduction in ton-mile cost of operation.
