Speed and Safety
Aims of Present
Flying Industry
(Continued From Page One)
destroy the ice which once alter
ed the contour of the wings and
made planes unstable.
“Beam” flying utilizes a system
of dots and dashes transmitted by
radio spread fan-like from trans
mitting stations. The beams ad
vise a pilot whether he is "on
course” or to the left or right of
his scheduled line of flight. So
perfected has the beam system
become that instrument panels
now are being built with visual
indicators.
Retractable Gear Helps
Landing gear always was a
problem. It retarded flight. New
construction designs enabled aero
nautical engineers to increase
air speed as much as 25 miles an
hour with retractable gear. The
moment a pilot throttles his mot
tors, a siren blares in his ear and
red lights dance on his instru
ment board if his wheels are not
in landing position.
The 1936 transport pilot has
no less than 75 dials on his instru
ment board. Half of them are
duplicates—for safety. Just as a
sample, for the motors alone:
Guages for oil pressure, oil tem
perature, carbureter intake tem
perature, fuel, vacuum (actuat
ing the gyros and de-icers), cylin
der head temperature and tacho
meter, which shows the number
of engine revolutions.
It has been only a decade since
private companies took over the
air mail from the government,
Jbut that decade has been one of
achievement. On land the 5,000
to 7,000 pound machine has been
increased in size to 25,000 pounds
and more. Machines now under
construction will weigh more
than 50,000 pounds.
On the sea, where the problem
of landing great mass of weight
is simpler, huge flying boats ply
the air over the Pacific and along
the coasts of South America.
Soon they will span the Atlan
tic in regular flight.
