OCEAN LINERS WITHOUT PROPELLERS, skimming the seas al
unheard of speeds, are no idle dream of the future when up-to-date
experiments in gas turbine engines are considered. Britain has and
is putting intensive work in this direction. Pictured here is one of
its experts, former Rolls-Royce engineer R. M. Parkinson, fitting his
invention, a jet-propelled outboard motor expected to sell in Britain
for about $170, to a boat for a test run on the River Thames at Kew,
London. In July 1941, the British, producers of the first Allied jet
propelled plane, gave the plans to the United States.
