The engine is different from the recognised type and no propeller is required. The first successful flight was made in 1941. JET PROPULSION FOR AIRCRAFT MANY inventions and discoveries of enormous benefit to mankind were originated within the British Commonwealth. The principle of jet propulsion bids tfair to revolutionise air transport and, perhaps, land and ocean travel as well. , Amongst other notable achievements to the credit of. Britain is the development of rayon by Courtaulds. This remarkable textile, with its innumerable uses in war and peace, has been brought to its present standard of perfection in great measure by sustained, research and patient endeavour on the part of this British Company. Courtaulds rayon yarn, and the lovely fabrics made from it, have improved standards of life amongst millions of people and have been the means of founding vast new'industries in England, the United States, Canada and elsewhere. The necessities of the war have restricted the available supply of Courtauldsrayons; but when victory is won, the results of research and experiment during the war yea'rs will be translated into even more beautiful rayon fabrics. In the postwar years the British Commonwealth will demonstrate that in the future, as in the past, British brains and industry can guide the-world towards fresh achievements for the benefit of the human race.
