AVIATION | FTER a long period in which public interest in aircraft v of the lighter-than-air type virtually has been eclipsed by the exploits of Lindbergh, Chamberlin, Maitland and Hegen- ‘berger, Goebel and other con- lquerors of oceans and continents fin heavier-than-air ships, the dirigible again is pushing its fmighty bulk into the limelight. For many {)ersons there always #will be a thrill in superlatives and the mere thought of a tremendous thulk the size of more than two city blocks of eight to ten story buildings rising off the ground and flying contains an irresistible ap- seventeenth of its natural volume. It was adopted for the lighting of railway cars in the pre-electric days and for the lighting of harbor buoys because it could be compressed into small containers and because it was an inherently good fuel and illuminating gas. Pintsch, for whom the gas orig- inally was named, failed to carry on the work of developing his in- vention, but Blau finally produced a hydrocarbon gas v'hich could be liquefied and thus stored in even smaller space than the Pintsch gas. He then continued his work and succeeded in evolving a gas containing as high as 1,800 thermal THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO FIELD OF AVIATION INVITES YOUNG MEN Commander of Naval Activi- ties Offers Course in Ground Training.

In tod, i ‘s Instuliment of his aviation serial in The Sunday Star, modern dirigible of the Zeppelin type may be gained by a compari- son with familiar ground objects. The Navy dirigible Los Angeles, for example, if brought to rest in F street with the nose on line with the west end of the National Press Building at Fourteenth street, would extend eastward past Twelfth street, almost to the Columbia Theater. With the buffer bag on the bottom of the control car resting on the pavement in front of the Press Building, the top of the long cigar-shaped bag would be approximately on a level with the ninth-story win- dows. Huge though the Los Angeles may be, she is to be dwarfed by the new Navy dirigibles for which contracts have just been awarded by the Navy Department. The Los Angeles has but one-third the gas capacity of the proposed Navy monsters, this being the yard- stick by which dirigible capacity is measured. These giant twin ships are to be approximately twice the sice of the great German commercial dirigible Graf Zep- pelin, which started her first Atlantic crossing this week, and 40 per cent larger than the Eng- lish R-100, now under construc- tion. e The transatlantic flight of the Graf Zeppelin, today the newest and greatest of the semi-rigid dirigibles, has been the signal for a revival of the old controversy over the relative merits of the tighter and heavier-than-air types. Lighter-than-air enthusiasts are vigorous in their assertion that the dirigible is to be the long- distance air liner of the future. The possibilities of the gas- buoyed ships as commercial trans- ports is to be thoroughly demon- strated in the Graf Zeppelin and the British R-100. eir value for military purposes, only hinted at during the World War, is to be scientifically tested by the Navy Department under service condi- tions in the two ships to be con- structed by the Goodyear Zeppelin Co. of Akron, Ohio, a subsidiary of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., which has been awarded the contract for the dirigibles and a hangar to house them at a total cost of nearly $8,000,000. The Los Angeles, under the treaty terms covering her transfer to the Navy Department by Ger- many, cannot be used for military urposes. She has been reserved or experimental work and as a training ship for the officers and crews which will man the future Navy dirigibles. * k %k * ‘The R-100 is to be used solely as a commercial ship and will make her first mfht, following her offi- cial tests, from London to Mont- real and New York. The big Brit- ish ship will have accommoda- tions for 100 passengers and a crew of 40 and also will be able to carry a quantity of mail. It is planned to put the R-100 into reg- ular service between Livexgool, England, and New York. A sister ship, the R-101, construction of which has been begun, will go into service between Montreal and London. These English ships are to be 709 feet long and 133 in maximum diameter. The Graf Zeppelin also is to make a number of flights with passengers and mail between Ger- many and the United States, ac- cording to plans announced just before her departure for this country Thursday morning. She also was designed entirely for commercial purposes and her pas- senger quarters are described as exceedingly comfortable and even luxurious. The German and Brit- ish designers and builders in turn- ing out these modern air liners intended that they should offer passengers the same conveniences enjoyed by passengers on an ocean steamer, though necessarily on a somewhat smaller scale. * ok k% A part of the revival of interest in the dirigible is due to great re- finements in the science of light- er-than-air engineering and navi- gation. The use in this country of non-inflammable helium instead of the highly combustible hydro- gen as the lifting medium has been hailed as the greatest single step ever taken toward safety in dirigible operation. Another outstanding problem which faced the lighter-than-air engineer—that of compensatin for loss of weight and shifting o% the center of gravity of the ship due to consumption of fuel by the motors is being met successfully. The United States Navy uses on the Los Angeles a highly efficient form of condenser which takes water from the atmosphere to compensate for the gasoline burned by the motors. This obviates the necessity of valving away costly helium gas and re- sults not only in greater economy of operation but also constitutes in itself another step toward the ulti- mate goal of absolute safety and reliability toward which aircraft designers are struggling. The Graf Zeppelin, according to reports from German, before, her departure, is using as fuel a mysterious “blue” gas of approxi- mately the same weight as air, the burning of which affects neither the weight nor balance of the ship. According to experts in this country, however, the gas is no mystery and the term “blue” is merely a corruption of the name Blauy, by which the gas was orig- inally known. The same gas in less pure form, it is claimed, has been used to light railroad cars for a number of years and has been referred to as Pintsch gas. Herman Blau of Augsburg, Ger- many, Pintsch in manufacturing the gas, a hydrocarbon which, as orig- inally used, was so compressible that & cowd be stored in QQS' collaborated with Julius} by-product of petroleum oils and the Blau gas is said to be a supe- rior fuel for internal combustion gasoline in this respect. The first Blau gas plant was put in opera- tion in 1908 in Augsburg and others were built later in other European cities, including one at Friedrichshafen, where the Graf Zeppelin was tested. * k %k X While the aerial monsters of the Zeppelin type monopolize the center of the stage in the theater of lighter-than-air operations, the smaller Lyges also are coming in for their share of attention. This city during the past few days had its first glimpse of the little Good- year blimp Puritan, which flew over the city for several days. The Puritan is only 128 feet long and 37 feet in diameter, and is ex- ceeded in size by most free balloons. The Puritan is driven by two 260-horsepower Ryan- Siemen motors and is claimed to be fairly fast, reliable and easy to control. Piloted by Jack Boettner, vet- eran balloon and airship pilot, the Puritan is making a tour of tne Nation to demonstrate this type of air transportation to the pub- lic. Boettner delights in putting his little blimp through its paces, his_specialty being landings on such circumscribed spaces as the roofs of office buildings, schools and stores, which are, of course, inaccessible to the airplane. While in this city he landed on the rocf of a local automobile company’s building. ‘Washingtonians during the past few days also have witnessed a number of flights by an old Army blimp of the TC type, flown here from Langley Field, Virginia, to attract attention to the recent military carnival and exposition at Washington Barracks. * X %k X Advocates of the dirigible main- tain that large dirigibles can com- pete successfully with large air- planes, though they do not profess to believe that the small dirigible ever will be able to compete with planes of their own capacity. The chief advantage of the dirigible over the airplane, they contend, is that an airship can increase her pay load greatly with a compara- tively small increase in weight, while the airplane can increase its pay load only by increasing the weight of the plane itself to a very great extent. %xere is no probability, with conditions as they are today, that the lighter-than-air ship will en- ter into competition with the air- plane commercially over short routes, but it now appears likely that sincere efforts will be made by the dirigible advocates to en- ter into serious competition with the airplane over the longer routes where heavy loads of freight and passengers are to be carried. NAVAL PATROL PLANE TESTS HERE THIS WEEK New PN-12 Type Is Virtually Self- Sustaining and Adapted to Needs of Fleet. ‘The Navy's newest and latest en- gineering project in the way of huge patrol planes—aircraft that are virtually self-sustaining and can fiy long dis- tances without the aid of tenders or car- riers—will come to Washington this week for service flight testing by the test pilots at the Naval Air Station, Anacostia. The new ship embodies many refine- ments and improvements over the PN-12's, which many weeks ago es- tablished a series of records for dura- tion, distance closed course, speed, al- titude, with and without tremendous loads. The plane bears the designation PN-11, and although apparently of earlier design than the PN-12 as the number would indicate, it was not laid down until the “twelves” were flying. ‘The schedule calls for the arrival of the plane here tomorrow or within the next few days thereafter. The plane will be flown for data to determine its adaptability to the needs of aviation with the fleet. It is motored with two its hull follows a design somewhat similar in principle to that employed in the transatlantic airplane NC-4. The plane will be flown here from the Naval Aircraft Factory at Phila- delphia, where it was built, SPEEDY TRAVEL IN VIEW FOR U. S.

American business men, to whom speed of travel may be a paramount factor, will be able to go from New York to the Pacific Coast with the loss of only one business day en route on | the new airplane and railroad combi- nation to be operated by the Trans- continental Air Transport, Inc., accord- ing to preliminary flying schedules com- pleted a few days ago. Leaving New York in the evening by rallroad, the traveler will awaken in Columbus, Ohio, the next morning and take a day plane to a terminal in Kan- sas, where he will board an air pull- man with sleeping accommodations and awaken the next morning on the Pa- cific Coast. The route and schedule announced by C. M. Keyes, president of the company, was selected upon the advice of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, chairman of the technical committee. The system will provide 48-hour air- | to the Pacific Coast. Supplementary service is to be provided for passengers along the route. Will Study Air Mail Rates.

Rounds, aviation activities here, of a meeting to be held Wednesday night at 7:30 o'clock in room 29, Corcoran Hall, George Washington University. This meeting is being arranged to line up candidates for the training and, incidentally, to form a nucleus for a flying reserve force for the Navy. Lieut. who is a test pilot at the Naval AirStation, Anacostia, and who has had a wide and varied experience in all phases of aviation from engineer- ing to tactical fiying, will preside over the meeting. Lieut. Rounds also will conduct the classes during the coming Winter and _Spring, which will be formed at the Wednesday night meeting. Subjects to Be Taught. ‘The subjects to be taught between now and June are as follows: Aviation history, 3 hours; structure and rigging, 10 hours; aerology, 4 hours; theory of flight, 6 hours; aviation engines, 10 hours; aerial navigation, 16 hours; practical flying (theory), 6 hours; reg- ulations, 6 hours; scouting. 4 hours, and radio, 4 hours. Examinations will be given' in each subject. Students taking these examinations will be competing for selection for pri- mary flight training to fill vacancies in the local division of naval aviation. In order to be so selected, however, they must conform to the following qualifi- cations: Be a citizen of the United States or its insular possessions; be a resident of the District of Columbia or nearby sections; be between 18 and 27 years of age; be qualified physically for enroliment and for flight training; be a college graduate, a senior attending college, or possess the equivalent of that education in order that he may com- plete his primary and advanced train- ing during the same fiscal year; pass examinations in the ground school course with a mark of 2.5 or better in each subject (2.5 corresponds to 62.5 per cent), and be a regular attendant at the ground school lectures. Primary Flight Tests to Follow. After successfully completing the ground school course students become eligible for the primary flight training rovided at the Naval Reserve aviation ase, Great Lakes, Ill. This consists of 45 days’ training duty, with pay and allowances, in accordance with a primary flight syllabus which provides 10 hours of instruction and 30 hours of regulated solo flight in a primary training type of plane. Successful completion of this course makes the student eligible for advanced flight training at the Naval Air Sta- tion, Pensacola, Fla., the training cen- ter for naval aviation. His oppor- tunity to become a commissioned officer of the Navy, with pilot's rating, is re- ceived guring this training. Students contemplating entering the ground school which will be organized Wednesday will not be enlisted until the preliminary ground training is partially completed and it can be defi- nitely ascertained who will, in all re- spects, qualify for the flight training, Lieut. Rounds said. ‘Young men interested in the training are required by Lieut. Rounds to meet at Corcoran Hall Wednesday night, or send their names and addresses to him at 5130 Fifth street. MIAMI-NASSAiJ AIR LINE NOW IS REGULAR ROUTE Trips Being Made Twice Weekly by Amphibian Plane—Time Cut to Two Hours. ‘The first air passenger service be- tween Miami and Nassau, the resort center of the Bahama Islands, 210 miles from the Florida coast, has just been opened by the Pan-American Airways, Inc., as its second line between the United States and British dominions. Regular service schedules are to go into effect when the Winter tourist season opens. Service now is being maintained twice a week in each direction, the flying time being two hours, as compared With nearly 16 hours by steamer. Under the temporary schedule, the air liners take off from the Miami airpoxt at 9:30 a.m., arriving at Nassau at 11:30, and leaving Nassau on the return trip at 3:30 p.m. The route is being flown by a new two-motored amphibian plane, the larg- est of this type yet produced, which has been developed jointly by Sikorsky and Pan-American engineers. It has commodations for eight passengers and mail. Two Wasp motors of 410 horse- power each give a speed of 125 miles per hour. Pan-American Airways has maintain- ed an international air mail and pas- senger service daily between the United States and Cuba for the past year. Mail and passenger service to the West In- dies via Cuba three times a week and daily service between Miami and the Panama Canal Zone are to be put into operation in the near future under con- tracts awarded by the Post Office De- 500-horsepower air-cooled engines and | Partment.

VIATION holds so many possi- bilities that any attempt to flying would sound fantastic. The progress of the last few years has bcen remarkable, but the progress than ever before. Alr trans- portation is developing rapidly. the speed of airplanes is steadily increasing insure safety in flying. Flying always scems to me very much ltke shipping, and as it takes its life of the country the analogy holds good. There are all kinds of ships suited to every purpose and so in the planes suited to every purpose. The type of ship will depend on the use to which it is put, and although airplanes very much alike, they are already dif- ferentiating in type so much that, ex- cept for the fact that they are all based similarity among them. The sizes of planes vary from tiny things which can almost be picked up pushed around easily by one man—to huge affairs weighing tons and with wings which span more than 100 feet. motors generating only a few horse- power, the fuel for which is carried in a tank no larger than that of a motor generating 1000 horsepower or more. Planes are actually being built which will have engines giving a total of 2,000 in this country have as much as 1,200 horsepower. Air Transport Growing. that designers foresee the day when large passenger planes will be like liners operated by a skiliful crew of pilots, a captain-pilot in charge. There will be large cargo ships carrying fréight, and from these big craft there will be for private owners, planes built so safely and made so fool-proof that it will be almost impossible for any one The speed of planes alone is going upward so fast that it would be ridicu- lous to attempt to suggest what the commercial planes has increased from 90 or 100 miles an hour to as much as 135 miles an hour in the last two years, prophesy as to the future of next five or ten years will see greater and great advances are being made to place more and more in the economic future there will be all kinds of alre may seem to the average person to bs on the same principles, there is little with one hand—which ¢an, in fact, be Some have tiny little two-cylinder cycle, and others have powerful engines or 3,00 horsepower and passenger planes Air transport is growing so rapidly navigator, radio operator and probably all types downi to the little sport planes to crash them seriously. limits may be.

There are commercial planes in the country now which with a_ 400-horsepower motor will do more than 150 miles an hour easily. That was the speed of racing lanes not so long ago, and racing has en largely responsible for this rapid development. Military Planes Fast. In military planes speed fs increas- ing even faster. There are racing planes now which fly faster than 300 miles an hour, and it is entirely prob- able that military planes with fighting equipment will be that fast in a few years. Nobody nows the limit of al plane speed, because nobody can fo Jjust what method of propulsion may be adopted in the future. It is not af all unlikely that some day the propeller will be replaced by a new form of pro- pulsive apparatus. There is no reason why commercial planes should not fly at any possible speed, so far as the passengers are concerned. Wood and fabric would have to give way to metal, but in straight flight there should be no discomfort at any speed. ‘There is a limit, of course, to fighting speed if a plane is to be maneuvered quickly. In fighting a pilot can stand only a certain rate of change in direc- tion, such as coming out of a dive or a steep bank, before he goes tempora- rily blind from the centrifugal force. But military planes are now of many types, and there will probably be a very fast type of ship which can be used to dive at an opponent at 300 or 400 miles an hour, but which must be pulled out of the dive carefully. But with all the spectacular achieve- ments which will come with the next few years, I am inclined to feel that the least exciting accomplishment will be the most important, and that is the fool-proof plane. Designers all over the world at present are focusing their efforts on this problem, so that the amateur pllots may take a plane up and bring it down safely in ordinary weather. . Automatic Control. ‘This question of automatic control was not so important until aviation be- came so popular that thousands of per- sons wanted to learn to fly. Most acci- dents are due not to failure of the plane or motor but to an error in judg- ment on the part of the pilot.

Most of these | | Improvements will be chiefly valuable | to those who are taking up aviation as | a rport and not as a profession, but | they will also be useful In commercial air transport ‘The CGuggenhelm safety competition has already done much to emphasize the importance of sa centrated the efforts country and abron with the result t embodying many 1ew fdeas @ ntered in’ the competition, ‘This Is the first time that safety has been made a mary importance in any av test, and although it Is less spec than racing, which has done much to develop the alrplane, at the same time it will probably stimulate inventions which will help to make the air safe for the average persorl who wants to fly. Nothing is of. greater-importance when more and more people with no special qualifications for flying are buy- ing airplanes. They should be en- couraged, but also . given planes in which it will be hard to kill them- selves. Forced landings are another cause of danger in aviation, and something which must be eliminated as much as possible In the future. The chief cause of forced landings, of course, is engine faflure, and this is slowly being elimi- nated to the irreducible minimum. Motors have been so improved that the danger of a good motor quitting, so long as it has proper care, is already an uncommon occurrence. ‘The motor in the Spirit of St. Louis flew for 490 hours without a single forced landing. And as the number of motors in reserve on a multi-motored plane is multiplied, the danger of a forced landing is cor- respondingly reduced, for multi-motor- ed planes are made which will stay in the air and even climb on only one motor. Cites Sikorski Case. I had an interesting experience of this kind recently in the new twin- motored amphibian built by Sikorski, which maintained altitude on one motor throttled down, and when the motor was opened it climbed. That gives a much greater safety factor than is possible in a plane having only one must be ob- i of designers In this on this problem, | £ | i motor, or even a tri-motored machine which requires two of its engines to maintain altitude. The other cause of forced landings, and one which so far has not been overcome, !s the weather. Fog and ice are the great enemies of pilots, and any one who runs into a thick fog with no way to get down through it is apt to crack up. Recently I flew around for two and a half hours in California looking for a hole in the fog. Fortunately I had plenty of fuel. Weather Service Important. There are two ways of avoiding forced landings due to the weather. One is an improved meteorological service which will give warning to the aviator of storm or fog on his path, |and the other is to devise instruments | which will enable a pilot to find his way through fog to a landing place whether he can see the ground or not. This will be done, but in the mean- time a better weather service is vitally important, and it is being improved as rapidly as possible. Some day it will be possible to fly through any kind of weather, guided by improved instru- ments of navigation, so that this danger will be much less than it is today. The structural safety of airplanes is almost accomplished. Most of the planes today are strongly built, and with new discoveries in metallurgy equal strength is being obtained with a lighter framework. A new metal with which experiments are being made is lighter and several times as strong as duralu- min, which is now used a great deal in airplanes. A method for coating dura- lumin, of which all-metal airplanes are built, has been found lately which has curlous properties. If the metal is deeply scratched, an electrolytic process is set up which re-covers the wound with aluminum, thus preventing a weakening of the internal structure due to corrosion. These things give some idea of the ingenuity with which metal- lurgists are approaching the problems of aviation and indicate what unusual and even fantastic things may be ex- pected in the future. Evolution of Engine. Given safety and large ships, of strong yet light construction, there re- mains the evolution of a more power- ful motor of low gasoline consumption. Motor sizes are constantly increasing, and there seems no reason why a single | motor should not be of several thou On O - ASK FOR THAT'S WHAT OWNERS SAY This new Oldsmobile is fine car.
