" B-6 »» SEES HIGH SPEEDS | IN STRATOSPHERE Maj. Schroeder Forecasts Sustained Flights of 600 f« Miles Per Hour. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 1.—Man will soon be Winging his way on sustained airplane flights in the stratosphere at speeds up to 600 miles an hour if the | iction of Maj. R. W. Schroeder comes true. He said yesterday that recent perfec- | Hon of American aircraft motor equip- | ment made this possible, and offered to | sct as pilot whenever a flight at this| height and speed is undertaken. Maj. ! Schroeder, now president of the Sky Harbor Flying Club, was the first man | &0 penetrate the stratosphere in an air- | plane, a feat he performed in February, 1920, when he reached an altitude of | 83,114 feet as officially recorded over Dayton, Ohio. | Equipment Perfected. “Equipment has been perfected &nd | by the Army Air Corps and the | aviation,” he said, “that will keep | modern aircraft motors operating at full efficiency in altitudes of higher than 6 miles above the earth. The human ele- mment, is now the only deterrent. “Protected by a hermetically sealed babin, however, a pilot should be able to fiy as comfortably and safely at an sltitude of 40,000 feet as we now do at 30,000 feet. Taking advantage of the Tarefied air at that height, which creates less resistance for the plane, and winds of 100 to 200 miles an hour, & plane With a top speed of about 200 miles near Bea level should be able to develop a #peed near 600 miles.” New Accessories to Be Shown, Among the new equipment, Maj Bchroeder said. is a new automatic vari- able pitch propeller controlled by air Ppressure on the blades and an improved ype of powerful supercharger, which will be seen by the public for the first time fomorrow at the opening of the National Aircraft Show at Detroit. The stratosphere begins about 6 miles Bbove the earth. Prof. Auguste Pic- card, the Swiss scientist, got farther into it than any other man when he went up to a height of 52,500 feet in & sealed metal ball carried by a balloon last May. i CITY NEWS IN BRIEF.
