Many of the newest Army, Navy, and commercial planes demonstrated what they could do recently before an audience of thousands of people, when G.E. dedicated its new flight-test headquarters—established for the purpose of furthering new developments in equipment for aviation. It was the largest assemblage of new planes yet seen in one place—and many of these planes carried G-E equipment.
Some of the newest equipment on the war planes never saw combat, and work on it will continue in cooperation with the armed forces here at the Schenectady airport. On the large transport and commercial planes—Stratocruiser, Constellation, and Globemaster—G-E electric equipment, such as generators and other power devices, will be used in quantity as the manufacture of these huge ships gets under way.
Accomplishments of the G-E Flight-test Division will enable many planes of the future to outstrip all previous records. Here our engineers will gladly discuss with you the application of all types of electric equipment. Apparatus Dept., General Electric Company, Schenectady 5, N.Y.
