The flight Of birds has been this Chi.
cago mans. study for years. He haa
made, he says, careful study of the
wing structure of the frigate bird, the
sand hill crane, the wild goose, the
buzzard and herring gull.
The feathers of the wings of the
fowls OF the air, Mr.. Mahan says, are
so arranged that practically each ons
has specific part to perform in flight
making. In the wings Of his flying
machine the inventor is to place valves
so constructed that in the upward and
downward strokes there will be two
distinct motions, as there are in the
birds wing movements lifting and q
propelling power combined.
Mr.. Mahan will use gas chamber
to overcome IS per cent. of the force
of the earth's gravity. The lifting
power Of the wing strokes, he says,
will overcome the remaining five per
cent. eZ3s;.s
At the forward end Of the gas cham
Der there will be placed vane-shaped
guide. The force Of the air as the
machine moves forward will act on the
fiat surface Of the vane and the air
ship, It 10 said, can be depressed or ele-
waited In it's course at will.
Piston rods will run on each side
of the gas chamber from q small gaso-
line engine in the basket car to the
wings and will furnish the motive
power for their operation.
The wings Of the airship are to be
made Of silk and rubber, with frame
work OF hickory or aluminium. A
jointed folding brace near the shoulder
Of each will enable the navigator to
':furl" the wings when the ship is at
rest. The, gas chamber, like the wings,
will be, made Of rubber and silk, with
ribs Of hickory or aluminium, ~ :.
With the gas furnishing 5uoyancy
SUFFICIENT to overcome 95 per cent. of
the earth attraction, 1t is claimed by
Mr.. Mahan that in case Of accident TO
the machinery the wings will act as a
parachute and will let the airship
gently down to earth. ~
Mr.. Mahan Is earnest In his con-
tention that the shape Of his ship will
assure positive and perfect equilib-
rum without which, he declares, mo
machine can be safe In the air."
