Two-speed gear appears to have useful application in improving take-off of extremely high speed airplanes and in improving fuel requirements of airplanes of long range; continuously variable gear does not appear to be justified from point of view of performance, but might be practical from manufacturing standpoint if efficient design could be developed.
