Ford V-8 Engine
Plane Success
Got Certificate
One more laurel rests on the
bright aluminum brow of the
Ford V-8 engine as the Arrow
Aircraft and Motors Corporation
of Lincoln, Nebraska, received
its Approved Type Certificate for
its new plane incorporating the
standard Ford engine. This is
the first airplane to receive its
A. T. C. using a standard automo
bile engine, interchangeable in
every way with that used in a
car.
David E. Anderson, Chief En
gineer of the Bohn Aluminium
and Brass Corporation, whose
company supplies many parts for
the engine, including the Bohn
alite cylinder heads, bearings,
etc., points out the versatility
of this powerplant which is not
only found in so many automobil
es but which also won the Wor
ld’s 225-Class powerboat champ
ionship at Toronto last summer
and now rounds out its triumphs
with this signal success in the
air.
Tests of the Arrow plane were
recently held in Detroit and
were watched with interest by
Ford officials. The Ford Motor
Company is not connected with
the manufacture of the plane but
was interested in the aeronautic
use made of the V-8 engine.
It was brought to Detroit by
Mark Woods, President of the Ar
row Aircraft and Mitors Cor-1
poration, his son Pace Woods, |
and Pilot Jimmy Hurtz who put
it through all kinds of stunts to I
demonstrate its foolproof design.
The plane rights itself from any
position and is a marvel of stab
ility, experts assert. It uses re
gular automobile gasoline, climbs
600 feet a minute, has an absol
ute ceiling of 14,000 feet and has
a range of 350 miles on 20 gal
lons of gasoline. Top speed is
100 miles an hour and it cruises
at 90. Landing speed is 45 miles
an hour. It will sell for less mon
ey than all but a few automobil
es.
