OLDSMOBILE JETFIRE ROCKET V-8 TAKES TO THE AIR!

So powerful...so reliable...so lightweight it powered a private airplane with ease!

Oldsmobile chalked up another record in Rocket engine history when its new 330-cubic-inch Jetfire Rocket V-8 successfully powered a fullsize airplane at Capital City Airport, Lansing, Mich.

Another First for Olds!
Modified slightly to meet FAA requirements, this lightweight cast iron V-8 - newest Olds Rocket-actually put a plabe into flight. In five hours of air tests, the Jetfire Rocket V-8 powered the husky aircraft in an amazing exhibition of performance and built-in reliability, attaining a rate-of-climb of  1,000 feet a minute!
While Olds has no intention of adapting automotive engines to aircraft use, the flight proves the Jetfire Rocket's superiority under the most damanding conditions.
