ATLANTA, Ga.; Feb. 23.-Delta-C&S Air Lines' First DC-7, the
T:.oyal Biscayne, set down here at 6 :36 p.m. Wednesday with- a proud
:i.ir that stemmed from its having just set a speed record between
lhe cities of Santa Monica, Calif., and Jacksonville, Fla.
We made it-under normal flying. conditions for a commercial air-
liner-in six hours and 12 seconds, or 42 minutes and 48 seconds under
the old record for the flight-between those two points, set by Delta-
C&S in 1948 in a DC-6. The speed figures out to an even 360 miles
rn hour.
Here's how it was done.
The shiny new DC-7, which adds
(I) the meaping of the term "first
dass travel," is airborne at 9 :36
;nd 18 seconds a.m. from . the_
Delta DC-7 Sets Mark:
The power comes from four Wright
rur~compound engines, each de-
veloping 3,250 horsepower and
turning a massive four-bladed pro-
peller 13 feet in diameter. The
engines cost $76,000 each and each
propeller $10,000.
The equipment is, of course. tM
