WEBER and FIELDS as “Mike and Meyer” NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1929. — §{NEW COWLING CUTS AIRPLANE HAZARDS Greater Speed and Safety, Less Cost Are Proved Benelits —— Washington, Feb. 13 (M—Faster, cheaper and safer transportation in the air has been made possible, gov- ernment officials announced today, by the new cowling for radial air | cooled engines developed by the na- tional advisory committee for aero- nautics. Adapted to the big passenger | planes now being built with two and |three engines, the cowling has been found in tests to be even more effec- tive than in its original application {to aircraft powered with only one engine. The multi-motored planes are those on which government and in- dustrial aeronautics authorities are counting for the development of air transportation of passgngers and treight within the next few years. The new cowling, when given ita first practical test recently on the | record-breaking cotat-to-coast flight | of Captain Frank M. Huwks, was| credited with adding 20 miles an hour to the average speed of his single engined plane. The committee estimates that a three-engined airplane fully equip- ped with the cowling will be able to increase its average cruising speed from about 100 miles an hour to 120 | or 125 miles, or maintain its 100 mile rate with 20 to 25 per cent less fuel. The latter represents a saving of | about 21 gallons an hour for most | |airplanes of tais type, and increases | their maximum flying distance 20 to 25 per cent. Increases Value of Planes Planes equipped with three 200- horsepower engines and capuble of | cruising at 100 miles an hour, com- | mittec experts point out, would have to be given three 400-horsepowdr | plants and strengthened throughout to attain an average of 120 to 125 miles an hour. Thus, it is reasoned, the new cowling rcpresents, in terms of the cost of such a change, at least $9,000 in added value to such air- planes. Each cowling costs nhoul‘ Viewed from the standpoint of safety in flight, the experts declared, it provides equally striking results. The margin of safety is greatly in- creased, they explain, because the cowling enables the machine to fly as well with only two engines work- ing as it can with all three in oper- lation when the engines are not | cowled. It is the effect of the cowling in PALACE TODAY ONLY “WHITE SHADOWS OF THE SOUTH SEA! with MONTE BLUE Also “CACTUS TRAILS” with BOB CUSTER TOMORROW “HAROLD TEE with ARTHUR LAKE and MARY BRIAN Also “A SHIP COMES IN” The Finest Human Interest Story Ever Fllmed with RUDOLPH SCHILDKRAUY and LOUISE DRESSER ROBERT EDESON Also 3 Series Collegians All Features With Sound Frec to the Ladics Coming To- morrow Night Will Recelve Oal- meal Dishes of Chinaware. | was reached, reducing the cos* of operation and its addition to the margin of safety rather than its contribution to speed and range on which the experts rely to stimulate the development of air passenger lines. FLIERS ASCEND 70 38000 FEET (Continued from First Page) midair and resembling the forma- tions of a cave, The aviators described the spec- tacle as a dazuling sight, with the light rays broken by the fragile cry- stals into all the colors of the spec- trum. In order to verify this seem- ing_nirage of the heavens they dipfed again and again into crystals, and Lieut. Johnson, and stuck his bare hand from the cockpit. It was pierced as though by & thousand needles. Not satisfied, Capt. Stevens cxposed part of his face, and today he bore a huge fce blister on one check as a souvenir. Capt. Btevens made several pic- tures on the flight but the results are in doubt. Exhaust from the cngine fouled the lens several times {and & thick blanket of snow which covered the territory over which they flew made his photographs of little value In studying the earth from the great height. Plan New Flight The aviators plan another flight within a short time, when they ex pect to establish a record. Twe important changed in their plane and their cquipment will be made first. Exhaust pipes from the en- gine will be cxtended along the fuselage to carry the fumes beyond the cockpits, for one thing, and the other improvement is development of electrically heated goggles which served until the lowest temperature when they became | foggy. The goggles were pronounced the best used in altitude flights so far, however. They functioned at a temperature of 60 degrces below zero. More coils are to be added ‘o provide greater heat, The pilots took off at 2:26 yesterday from Wright Field. They landed late in the afternoon at Columbus, fearing to attempt a re- turn to Dayton because of possible injury to the plane by a forced landing. The same machine was used by Licut. John McReady. Lieut. James Doolittle, and Capt. Street in alti- tude flights. Tt has a 400 horse- p. m., Perfect Vitaphone House! CAPITOL Begins SUNDAY For 4 Days SEE and HEAR Him Talk for the First Time!

After learning that they were off their flight course when their fuel bLecame low they descended at Co- lumbus, where they refuelled and flew back to Dayton, Lieut. Johnson came here from 8elfridge Field, Mt. Clemens. Mich., especially for the flight. Capt. Stevens was the official phetographer of the Hamilton Rice SBouth Ameri- can institute.
