AN ASSISTANT OF HIRAM MAXIM on THE
IILIENTfIAL DISASTER

The sad conclusion to Herr I.ilionthars expert
ments in human flight has provoked discussion
among specialists to the specific cause Of the
failure of his machine to carry him successfully
through his last unfortunate adventure one writer
in The London Saturday Review" attributed his
fall to the fact that his machine was not stable
sideways. Commenting on this Percy 5. Pitcher
an assistant Of Hiram Maxim. writes to The
Saturday" follows:
As matter OF fact his dIerr Lilienthars) accident
had nothing do with transverse stability; ne
pitched endways Having started from high hill
only very little in elevation he lost his forward
speed through the air: partly. Il appears from the
machine with his weight rather far back. In order
that he might gain full benefit from an anticipated
Xii in the wind he found himself all at once with
motion through the air He consequently put
his weight forward to incline the front OF the ma.
chine downward. that be might regain his forward
speed but unfortunately he tilted the machine too
much down In front and descended acticaliy end
1t had always been Herr I.ienthals custom
10 balance The machine both sideways ana, end
casion he was using in conjunction another device
ru'der moved. so TO give him greater command
the fitting of the machine. His accident IL
well enough acquainted with this new system.
1t is a matter Of experience both Herr Lilien-
sideways it will constantly come 10 grief. Side
stability may be given by making the nnachne Ike
can be given by raising the wings at the tps-that
Is to say. by making II N-shaped in the end view:
be all right but with stable machine * tho wfni
shifts sideways that, IL. comes SUCH tly ore
side OF the machine. IL must necessarily raise that
side against which the wind strikes and this tends
TO capsiZe II. whereas by making the machine quite
neutral transversey. which can be effected by max
ing the wing tips only very slightly raised above
the centre Of the machine and 10y making the
wings hollow transyersely, the machins can be
hardled comparatively easily In shtfty wind, TIA
transverse balance being maintained 10y throwing
the weight of the body from side To side.
II Is also necessary TO Keep the wing surface low.
because II II IL high above the mans body sud-
den pun Of wind Will take the lgbt wigs away
with II TO certain extent. whereas IL VIII not have
much hold on the comparatively small and heavy
body of the man underneath. There viii thus be n
capsszng tendency and the control Of the pactIioe
will be taken away from the man.
