BY way of introduction we shall explain that we have used the rather unwieldy term “composite-engined aeroplane” to define the type of aircraft with which we at Ryan are working. This is one having two power plants of different kinds, which are, in the FR-1, Fireball, a nine-cylinder Wright Cyclone engine of 1,820 cubic inches piston displacement and a General Electric 1–16 turbo-jet engine of 1,600 pounds static thrust.
