Great Machines fachines ‘Will 1 Fly from New York to Londoh in 36 to| 48 Hours, Experts. Predict. Recent Improvements Move Air Engineers to Declare There Is No Limit to Size of Planes. BY J. H. DUCKWORTH. N. 'E. A. Staff Correspondent. New York, Aug. 12.—Huge airplanes capable of carrying 100 passengers, + ‘and of flying from New York to San - Francisco or: from New York to Lon- don. in from: 36 to 48 hours, willbe built before very long, according to f Caproni, designer of the: famous aero- “| plane of that name. \ Startling as this prediction may ap- pear ‘to the layman, to the experts these giant- air) liners are but the | ‘cold, logical development of the tre- © mendous strides forward the necessi- ties of war have forced airplane engi- N neers to make.” ‘At the Aero Club of ‘America today | 1 discussed the 100-passenger flyer iwth a number of American and Allied aeronautical — engineers, whom doubted for 'a moment that the era of the passenger plane is now- dawning. The collective views of these experts were summed up by Henry Woodhouse, a governor of the Aero club, author of the Textbook of Military’ Aeronautics, as ‘follows: “So great have been the recent im- provements.in airplane motors and so successful has the application of fund- amental engineering principles been applied to airplane construction tha: the obstacles that for so long stood in the way of making larges airplanes Have new been eliminated. “The world’s leading aeronautical .eigineers, like Handley-Page, Caproni and Curtiss agree that aeroplanes and ; airigibles can now be built ‘to almost is i any size. The ao-catled. fundamental limits against building large planes are pure- , ly obessions of men with single track minds. The following show how this class of, people say ‘impossible’ te i Hl things even after they have been per- Ly formed. “In. 1903 Prot Simon Newcomb ‘proved beyond question’ that! heavier- than.air machines were impossible.. Le- ter jt was said that the recoil of a gun or, the. dropping!-of a bomb. heavier than-{60 pounds would upset an, air- plane; that ta machine equipped with two. motors would be unable to lift. ite { | own: weight, and ‘that it one’ motor ji stépped:- the machine would. spin | ‘around, “All. these ‘impossible; things | aré how, realities.” .. { ‘According to, Mr. Woodhouse, a ma i chine to tarry: 100 passengers ‘would i Not have. :to:-be more! than twice a» | 9: ‘Bedent airplane in ‘use { Gey largest ‘airplane The largest Caproni is.a15-ton michine., .Of these 15 tons 40 per cent ‘fs useful weight, that is, cargo, One , hundred persons weighing on the aver- age:150 pounds total 15,000 pounds, or a little over sx tons, any W, 8, 8 —— > NEW YANK GAME ~~ TOUGH ON HIDE Soldier Victim Sore When | He a Gets Through large, an « today: today. ‘(ey Newspaper ' Enterprise Ass'n) * Vondon, Aug, 12.
