AIRPLANE OF THE FUTURE
A correspondent of The Associate j
Press, writing from Paris, says an
American firm has lately ordered
an airplane of -he type described
by Louis Breuget, famous French
flyer and constructor, as “an ocean -
crossing plane”. M. Breuget recent
ly predicted that these airplanes will
be making frequent trips across the
Atlantic within two or three years
They are now under construction.
They are expected to be able to
fly 24 hours without stopping, at a
speed of 180 miles an hour, and to
carry a score or more of passengers
with baggage. This would bring the
two continents a day’s travel of
each other.
The planes are being planned
with huge wings, six feet thick, the
interior of which will be used for
cabins. As described by the French
inventor, their total weigh: will be
155 tons, their wing spread 375
feet and they will have 24 motors
of 500 horsepower each.
It was contemplation of this big
advance, the correspondent writes,
that led M. Breuget to suggest the
possibility that an airplane event
ually will be able to go around the
world in one flight.
“There is no reason why an air
plane could not make the circuit of
the world without a atop, if we pur
sued the formula as to weigh:-lifting
and speed and if greater room can
be found for fuel, say 70 per cent
of the total lifting power”, the in
ventor is quoted as saying.
“Such a plane would travel at a
speed of 750 miles an hour, but this
speed would be impossible unless an
average height of 42,000 feet could
be maintained. At such a height the
atmosphere has one-fifth of its ordi
nary density.
“I he vista spread out oy sucn a
possibility is amazing Man could fly
around the earth faster than the
earth’s movement. He could, so to
speak, catch up with die sun. New
York would only be six hours from
Europe.
“Again, in the case of war, what
would be the use of big fleets if
they were faced with huge 100 an i
200-ton aerial torpedo planes? The
navies of the world will then be
relics of the past, fit only for a
place in a museum next, let us say,
to mammoths.
“People laugh at tfese predictions
but”, concluded the inventor, “so
did people in 1840 when steam navi
gation was introduced”.
