THE DAILY ALASKA- EMPIRE TU}:bDAY NOV I7 |936 MORE SPEED IS REQUIRED IN AVIATION Aeronautical Engineers Are | Working on New Ways for Safety By DEVON FRANCIS NEWARK, N. J,, Nov.: Herlihy used to chase horses and cows out of pastures before he could “set down” his biplane. In 1928, long be!,)le he had ap- 000,000 miles of flying, he was sur- zno possible - airports. erkihy had vision, but some of the, great flying fields he helped select « will be too small for the ships which the great air trans- port companies of the United States will be flying in 1938. The passenger capacity of today’s airliners will be doubled in about 18 months when 40-seat airliners are expected to go into service. Big Airports Aid Safety Big airports assist the, aeronau- tical engineers in attaining their principal objectives increased safety and greater speeds. They also seek greater economies of oper- ation. In the field of safety, the auto- atic pilot is the flier's right ower. The human pilot guides his kreat machine aloft, then twists a knob on the instrument panel and releases the manual, controls. The plane now is in the hands of “the machine that = thinks,” gyro-pilot. _ Take a peek at its mechanism: There are two small gyros, actuat- ed by air streams. One is for lateral control, the other for vertical flight. The gyros®respond to the movements of a number of oil plungers which transmit to variations in air currents. Through “booste to increase the strength of its commands, a gyro accom- modates the airplane to any conditions, to wind drift to a shift in the load in the fuselage. Dozens of Instruments Augmenting the gyro as a safety are dozens of instruments, airports and ground crews constant radio communication with the plane. Plane design itself safety | devic bette: in has contributed a large factor in a decade of air engineer- ing. Ice on propellers and wings 1» skeins of oil no longer a problem; and flexing rubber shields on the | leading edges of the wings destroy | the ice which once altered the ‘ contours of the 'wirgs and’ rade planes unstable. “Beam” flying utilizes a system of dots and dashes transmitted by radio, spread fan-like from trans- mitting stations. The beams advise 17—Jack the it air or to the left er right of scheduled line of flight. fected has the beam system become that instrument panels now are be- ing built with visual indicators. Retractable Gear Helps Landing gear always was a prob- lem. It retarded flight | tical engineers to increase air speed |as much as 25 miles an hour with retractable gear. The moment pilot throttles his motors, a siren blares in his ear and red lighi |dance on his instrument board if | his wheels are not in landing posi- | tion. | The 1936 transport pilot has nc less than 75 dials on his instrument board. Half of them are duplicates —for safety. Just a sample, for the motors alone: Gauges for oil pres- sure, oil temperature, carburetor intake temperature, fuel, vacuum (actuating the gyros and de-icers), cylinder head temperature and tachometer, which shows the num- ber of engine revolutions. It has been only a decade since private companies took over the air mail from the Government, but that decade has been one of achievement. On land the 5,000 to 7,000 pound machine has been in- creased to 25,000 pounds and more Machines now under construction will weigh more than 50,000 pounds. On the sea, where the problem of landing a great mass of weight is much simpler, huge flying boats ply the air over the Pacific and along the coasts of South America Soon they will span the Atlantic. SAYS WOMAN NOT SUICIDE Paraffin Te?of Hands In- dicate Widow Did Not Kill Herself LAGRANDE, Kentucky, Nov. 17. —Coroner D. L. Ricketts today said that a paraffin test of the hands of the exhumed body of Mrs. Verna Garr Taylor, 40, a widow, showed a “negative,” meaning that she did [not fire the revolver the night shc | was killed. Brigadier General Henry Den- hardt, aged 60, is accused of slay- ing his fiance. His revolver was near the woman’s body found on a Ionely’ road. He is at liberty at his {ranch under bonds of $10,000.
