SUPHHTIHCU mhgmwffim Aviation's sights today are trained on the strato- sphere, the key to military and world trade supremacy. But before science can conquer the rarefied, sub-zero heights of the earth's ocean of air, answers must be found to a multitude of problems, for planes and men will be entering a sphere considerably beyond today's limits of flight. To speed this epic exploration, Curtiss-Wright has completed the world's largest altitude chamber- where, without leaving the ground, airplane cabins and fusilages with all their compleivc equipment can be tested exhaustively under stratospheric conditions. It is, we believe, a contribution of far-reaching im- portance to America's leadership in aviation. CIIRT SSQGWIVRIGIIT IIHPLINL' DIVISIDN BUFFALO f COLUMBUS ' ST.

Nine minutes after this scientist steps into the Curtiss altitude chamber he can reach flying conditions equiv- alent to those found nearly eight miles above the earth's surface in rarefied air 70 degrees F. below zero. 565
