The company, it is expected, will soon release detailed informa¬ tion on a new type all-metal, four-place single-engine plane of which four models have already been turned out by hand and are undergo¬ ing tests at Wichita, Kans. The new plane, known as "Model 35," places the company in position to expand peacetime production and supplements production <of the D18, a twin-engine, 6- to 10-place craft in the $60,000 price class, and the G17, a single-engine biplane in the $30,000 price class. Price of the Model 35 will be in a range that will enable Beech to compete favorably with other major pro¬ ducers of medium-priced aircraft, the announcement said. Approxi¬ mately 500 of the Model 35 Beeehcrafts have been sold on a "sight unseen, specifications unknown" basis with substantial cash deposits on each airplane. YVYY V/.;.:..v,iv;Yv pp.. • .p/pY '~Y It is believed by corporation officials that the maximum possible output of the Model 35 Beechcraft for 1946 will be purchased on a firm order basis within a short time - after specifications are re¬ leased. These specifications, it was stated, are being withheld un¬ til guaranteed figures can be established. i.^YiYvYpp;-. pp.- YP ' "Prior to the war, the company devoted its production largely to;; private and executive type plants of the more expensive class. In now broadening its field with the Model 35 the company has placed itself In position to expand production and sales and to utilize more of the facilities and workers employed in wartime production. Beech now employs some 4,200 workers. /Y?/p/PSYPYYYPY John P. Gaty, Vice-President and General Manager, said that Beech anticipates no difficulty in financing continued development of the peacetime program, of which the new plane just announced is an example. The largest distributor organization in Beech's his¬ tory is being built up, both in the United States and abroad, to supply present lines.
