Jet Planes Will Replace Piston Engined Aircraft
There are no jets in the air over New Zealand today, but of certainty they will come.
Eight, ten, or it may be more, years will see a general replacement of piston-engined aircraft everywhere, aeronautical engineers say definitely. Rongotai will of equal certainty see jet planes, so plans for the new airport propose that provision should be made for .them right away, particularly as some of the special features designed for the jets to come, can in all probability be built more economically that way.
Passenger facilities, the plans suggest, should go underground, or rather under the tarmac, when the new runway goes through from bay to bay.
