Senate Continues Plane Investigation
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The Senate has undertaken an inquiry into another Pentagon plane contract award even as the TFX fighter plane dispute continues to boil, it was disclosed today.
Chairman John C. Stennis, D-Miss., of the Senate preparedness subcommittee said a staff study has been started of programs involving new type planes capable of taking off vertically and from short run-ways.
STENNIS SAID that in this area — as in the TFX dispute — Pentagon civilian officials went contrary to Navy recommendations in awarding research and development contracts for the new planes.
Stennis said one face of the preparedness subcommittee staff inquiry into the so-called VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) and STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) programs involved a contract awarded by the Pentagon to Bell Aerospace Corp. He said the Navy recommended that the award go to Douglas Aircraft Co.
The Navy decided that Douglas' research and development programs for the vertical and short take-off planes were superior to Bell's from the standpoints of both cost and technical features, the senator said.
Stennis said the subcommittee "is interested in ascertaining the basis of the Award to Bell in view of the reports that the responsible officials of the Navy favored the Douglas proposal on the basis of technical competence and cheaper cost to the government."
HE SAID THE VTOL-STOL inquiry would consist primarily of a general examination of development programs for planes that can land and take off from short spaces with heavy pay-loads and are speedier than helicopters.
Also, Stenius said, the subcommittee is looking into reports of "significant cost overruns" on a current contract held by a Vought-Hiller-Ryan combine for an operational prototype VTOL assault transport.
