Nelson, expert mechanic and a pioncer in the aviation game, Richard Kohn of 65 Harrison street, an inventor of note who has been prominently identified with Landers, Frary & Clark as the inventor of a glass percolator and other articles of trade, the United States avation cory may soon be furnished with an ai craft model which may prove the most efficient of its kind yet made. Mr. Nelson and Mr. Kohn have been working on their airplane model since inventive genius and | the first of the year and, after expe iencing considerable se- curing raw products with work, have got their airplane cient advanced so that it will be com- pleted within a month, after which a trial flight will be made builders will try to secure govern- mental permission to make a flight from this city to Washington in order that the government experts may see the machine and pass judgment upon it, after it has proved its worth. 1dy the government has been sed of the new model airplane s requested Messrs Nelson and furnish the aireraft board information, models and rding their inven- difficulty in which Kohn (o full specifications reg tion. This men new machine which the local building will he one of the to suffi- | and then the | | lightest airplanes ever produced, and at the me time will be one of the most ea: to control and operate. It will be a “tail-first” machine of the | “pusher” biplane type. In many the airplanes used today the tail of the machine, with the rudder, etc., juts out from the rear, but in the ma- chine being built here the tail with its rudder, planes, etc., projects to the front. In some machines the pro- pellers are so bullt that they literal- {1y pull the airplane through space. { This type is called a tractor plane, but the one being built by Nelson and Kohn is a ‘“pusher” plane inasmuch jas the propellers are in the rear and | push the machine through the air very much as the propeller of a boat pushes the vessel through the water. Another feature of advantage is | that the new machine has what is called a threc point suspension, which will make it easier to land on any kind of ground. On ecither side of the pilot are wire wheels, the tip of the “forward tail” is | other wheel so that no matter where the machine makes a landing, there the ground at once, it from overturning Motive power will two specially thus .nd br be furr designed motors of 50 ing that greater and more dependable power can Dbe furnished by two medium-sized motors than from one | high power motor. An added fea- ture of this machine is that if onc of the motors should be shot away in | action, the other would still be run- | ning and by mancuvering the pilot could malke a safe get-away and land safely. The finai motors to be in- stalled will he air cooled and, ac- cording to Mr. Kohn, will he some- thing entirely new. ile also claims that these new motors wi cut down | the wasoline consumption to an as- tonishing degree. For the present, s e i e install Wright motors which a | i | i two of | and at' an- | will be at least two wheels touching ! preventing | horsepower each, the builders claim- | they have been enabled to secure. Tt is estimated that the machine will attain 90 miles an hour. Further details given by the build- ers indicate that the machine, with its three wheels, can be run with fety over any roadway that sufficiently wide. The construction is also such that the new airplane i an anphibious creation, inasmuch it is both a land and a se: When completed the operator can start from dry land and effect a landing on the water. The machine will also start on water and land on terra firma. The completed machine will weigh in the neighborhood of 1,- 100 pounds, which is considerably lighter than many models now being used. It will carry three passengers, a pilot, a gunner and an observer. To the casua] observer however, the most unusual thing about this air- plane will be its appearance. airplanes that are seen have the pilot sitting well to the front, with planes over his head, and swinging away to the rear is a long tail. In front of the pilot's seat is nothing but the propellor. The Nelson-Kohn machine is the reverse of thi There is noth- ing except the gasoline tank in back of the pilot, while the motors are above, on cither side, and in front of him is the “fail” and steering de- vices. Both Mr. Nelson and Mr. Kohn predict great things for their new model ¢ plan to demonstrate it to the government at once. New RBritain is familiar with Mr. Nelson and his aeronautical ability. He was one of the pioneers in the aviation game and has ever been con- sidered iator. Mr. | Kohn, while he is a resident of this known.
