    business jets be based at relatively remote airports and that
    helicopters be used for into-town links. On current estimates
    the company expects a total market of 5.000 units by 1980 for
    machines like the Twinjet.
    The prime criteria were for maximum safety, passenger
    comfort and convenience, performance, reliability and a
    streamlined appearance. The powerplant has been designed
    specifically for this application; the units are mounted in such
    a way as to be totally isolated from each other, with the inten-
    tion that failure in one will not affect the other. A four-
    bladed single rotor was chosen for simplicity and smoothness;
    the rotor is shaft driven. The choice of three steel spars per
    blade is intended to provide a completely fail-safe structure;
    blades will also be individually interchangeable. The estimated
    performance suggests that the Gates Twinjet Helicopter will set
    entirely new standards of speed for civil VTOL and the
    engine-out performance safety factors should make it a
    practical vehicle for high utilisation. The makers' aim is a
    minimum of 250hr between periodic maintenance inspections.
    The nearest existing rival to the Lear helicopter is the
    Bell 212 powered by coupled PT6s, which is nearing certifica-
    tion. Among possible competitors, but also slighty larger, are
    the Sud/Westland WG-13 and the SIAI Marchetti SV 20. Bell
    is also developing a twin version of the JetRanger; this will
    be smaller and cheaper than the Lear machine but could offer
    a similar performance. Although there is considerable interest
    in this market (much more than has been indicated here) the
    Lear helicopter is notable for being designed specifically for
    private and corporate ownership. The claims to advanced
    performance on low horsepower could make this a significant
    advance in the rotary-winged artif the claims are realised
    in practice.
    Below left, the master milestone schedule is aimed at a first flight in
    mid-1971, and delivery of fully certificated aircraft before the end of
    1972. Below right, the payload-range performance
