Business & Commercial Aviation News from June 1965

Jessica A. Salerno June 08, 2015

Turbo Exec 400, from June 1965 issue of Business & Commercial Aviation

FAA certification has been received for the Turbo Exec 400, Riley Aeronautics Corp. conversion of the de Havilland Dove. It cruised at 250 mph TAS at 12,000 ft., with 285 TAS at 20,000 ft. Range is 2,000 mi. Both custom and airline interiors are available.

BD-1, from June 1965 issue of Business & Commercial Aviation

Certification is near for the Volkswagen of aviation: Jim Bede’s long awaited, $2,500 (base price), aerobatic two-place aircraft, the BD-1. This version, Bede says, can be flown for about $4.25 per hour (including depreciation and insurance) based on 150 hr. per year.

Wren 460, from June 1965 issue of Business & Commercial Aviation

Wren 460’s full-span flaps and flaperons (outboard) are sealed at hinges for optimum lift at slow flight. “Wren’s teeth” on upper wing surface counteract yaw of down flaperon on opposite wing. Plates lag the flaperon motion, moving only when flaperon exceeds more than fifty percent of its travel.

Falcon Mockup, from June 1965 issue of Business & Commercial Aviation

The fine points of the Falcon cabin mockup at Pacific Airmotive in Burbank are reviewed by Don Stimson, chief pilot of Gamble-Skogmo (right) and Edward Cain, PAC’s general sales manager for the program.

Phillips 66 Advertisement, from June 1965 issue of Business & Commercial Aviation

According to Phillips, the PFA 55MB additive combats jet fuel icing at high altitude and prevents bacterial or fungus buildup in fuel tanks.

Fairchild Hiller Advertisement, from June 1965 issue of Business & Commercial Aviation

Fly the incomparable F-27 and take it anywhere. The F-27 by Fairchild Hill combines outstanding short field performance with general business work space for 10, 12, 16, even 20 passengers.
