THIS paper represents an attempt to illustrate the values of octane-number improvements in aviation gasolines in terms of increased earning power of current-type transport airplanes when proper provisions have been made in the original designs. The procedure consists in computing the change in earning power of a gallon of gasoline when octane-number changes are reflected in altered fuel consumptions or take-off load capacities. In general it appears that:
