T HE development of a new as'rplane such as the Crusader, the World's Fastest
Navy Fighter, cannot ' ' credited to any one engineer. Each engineer, how-
ever, is invaluable because this truly new high-performance airplane is only the
final result of the creative thought and teamwork of - a large number of engineers.
The individual ideas of each engineer are moat
important In aircraft design, the time lag between
discovery and the utilization of knowledge is
extremely short, shorter perhaps than in any other
major industry. The solutions to the most stimu
lating problems which arise in the industry are
frequently dependent upon the daily utilization of
new ideas and new knowledge.
The graduating engineer considering his first
career decision may choose whether he will enter
this field of work the design of airplanes and
missiles that progresses hand in hand with new
discoveries in all facets of science and engineering,
or choose a less aggressive industry. Of course, it
follows logically that greater and more rapid ad
vancement opportunities lie in a field that does not
stagnate, in a field that is bounded by the creative
imagination of man alone. At Chance Vought, air
craft design draws capable engineers to positions
of greater responsibility in developing new ideas
and supervising the additional technical manpower
needed to "practicalize" the ideas. Starting sala-
ries are commensurate with education and expe
rience for particular specialization and are also
competitive with other industries as well as
other companies. Advancement, as one would

We you to discuss your opportunities at Chance Vought with
expect, is based upon demonstrated performance,
not seniority.
The future of the aircraft industry is equal to, if
not brighter than, that of other industries. The
complexity of modern aircraft and missiles, the
investigation of new fields of knowledge as air
craft fly higher and faster, the possibilities of
man's further use of science and engineering for
conquest of the air in the second half of the 20th
century, all emphasize the challenge and oppor
tunity to the young graduate.
We urge the graduating engineer to investigate
these opportunities at Chance Vought. He will
find a stable, 38-year-old aircraft designer and
builder with young ideas, a designer and builder
noted for advancing the state-of-the-art of air
craft and guided missile design. He will discover
that Chance Vought offers career opportunities,
not merely impressive titles, and that he will
join an engineering organization that thinks
and operates as a team rather than as a random
collection of individual engineers.
We have the usual fringe benefits including an ex
cellent graduate study program, group insurance,
retirement income_plan, paid vacation, sick leave,
moving allowance, and numerous paid holidays.
