A SPANIARD'S FLYING MACHINE
SENIOR VERGARA THINKS HE HAS SOLVED
TIE PROBLEM OF AERIAL NAVIGATION


SENIOR VERGARA THINKS HE HAS SOLVED
THE PROBLEM OF AERIAL NAVIGATION
Dumbarton, April 20.-The flying machine re-
ferred TO In Mr.. Denny's speech at the luncheon
was designed by young Spanard named
Nergara. Accompanied by his father. he came
from spain, where, he informed the correspond
ent of The Associated Press, he conducted suc-
cessful experiments with models of his idea The
machine now building will be completed and
tried within a fortnight. Senior Vergara is mod
est and reticent regarding his invention but II
can be judged that it must possess no little
practicability and ideas to induce a hard
headed firm like the Dennys to take 1t up
Senor Vergara said to the correspondent of
The Associated Press:
Ny plan is quite simple, and my machine is
equally so. 1t is constructed on the sa ME prin-
ciple which enables birds to fly. There is no
nave always believed that aerial navigation is
only a dynamic problem, and | hope that I have
solved it on these lines. Other inventors of the
present day have worked on the principle that
aerial flight is a static or hydrostatic puzzIe
This machine now building at Dumbarton will
be propelled by manual power 1t will be
capable OF carrying two men. We will eventu-
ally substitute motor for the manual mower
but at first these primitive methods rather helm
TO explain the principle upon which we a re
working. Any scientist will understand what
we are aiming at when he hears that we have
got an airshlp, or rather real flying machine
that is apparently workable on purely dynamic
lines.
The Dennys refuse to give any further in
formation than that obtained in the speecb of
their junior partner, but they evidently SET much
store on TINS hitherto carefully concealed ey
pertinent in aerial navigation
