By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE (Associated Press Science Editor) NEW YORK, August 5. F‘Oul‘ | “stratosphere’ planes—to fly above 30,000 feet, which is not strictly ‘slxatosphere but close to its lower ledge—are planned secretly in three countries. Two are American, one French and one German. The engineering problems before planes fly the stratosphere are def- inite, their solutions theoretically known. | There is another problem, little | discussed, the human one, or, as the aviation experts say, “the phys clogical limit.” It was hoped the (ascension of the ill-fated Explorer |11 would give a clue to thi prob- lem. | Supercharging 1 'fficult | The biggest difficulty comes at present in climbing to stratosphere | heights, or anywher mnear. The horsepower falls off n climbing more rapidly than the density of |the atmosphere. If there were no e impossible. 1 The cure is supercharging. This| ‘xs compression of rarefied air at thigh altitudes, so that the engine gets an air mixture equivalent-to |lower levels. Here again a limit appears. This is. the power needed to compress the air. That limit is definite if engine power is used. But by using the exhaust to run |the supercharger this limit is lifted. Some engineers believe that as real stratosphere altitudes are ap- proached, steam power may come into use. The advantage is no need of spending energy in supercharg- ing. | Human Problem Vital Propellor designs will probably be changed with great altitudes. They will need considerably larger diam- |eters of blades at 40,000 feet than at 400 feet. In inside circles at present there is more discussion of the human problem than of the mechanical. The engineers can build the strat- csphiére planes, of that there is little ‘doubt. But no one knows what effect the great altitudes will have on paying passengers, the persons who are not specially trained for flying, but without whom thera can be no rvice. | Fifteen thousand feet is the lim- 1it at which oxygen drops too low |for buman comfort. Thirty thou- {sand is the limit at which decreas- |ing atmospheric pressure becomes | uncomfortable. An Unknown Factor Engineers with certainty can de- sign cabins for stratospher planes -n which oxygen .and air pressure -an be mzaintained at sealevel con- ditions. Fhe pressure needed is only |14' "pounds a square inch. Steam boilers do. immensely. more with cafety. Cabins shaped like bojlers |can sustain the atmospheric pres- sure with ease. But here the unknown factor en- ters. Is sealevel atmospheric pres- mure At 0,000 feet, in an . enclosed |cabid; the ‘same thing ks a sea- ¥ The answer should be an un- ;uualuied yes. But it is not. Physh ologists say—“We do not know— |Pannot know until careful experi- | ments are tried.” The dilference can be only .slight. | There is a little more oxygen pro- Jortionately at 40,000, feet, a little ess carbon dioxide.
