DUMONT'SNEW AIRSHIP
LATEST COMPETITOR FOR SKY
FLIGHT PRIZE DESCRIBED.

PARIS, March 11.-Santos-Dumont's new
aeroplane, constructed to compete for thu
Decentralization prize of $4,000 for thu
first "heavier-than-air' machine to cover &
distance exceeding one kilometer and re
turn to the point of departure Is mucf
smaller, more rigid and more powerful thar
the Bird of Prey" with which he won the
Archdeacon prize with flight of 220 meters
last fall. In the new machine the canvas Of
the wings has been replaced by very thir
polished wood and the framework is OF
light mahogany.
The two wings, constructed like Hargrave
box kites, meet at an angle Of eight de-
grees and have spread from tip to tip OF
Ii meters The width of the wings is only
sixty centimeters. A fifty horsepower motor
at the center will operate propeller, the
aluminium blades of which are two meters
in diameter.
Better Grip on the Air.
The propeller has been placed in front in
the belief that 1t will have a better grip on
the air. Behind and below the motor is the
seat for the operator. 1t is little more
than a tri-car saddle, but from it Santos
Dumont can direct and maneuver the ap-
paratus. The helm and steering gear are In
the rear, with side rudders on the wings for
controlling the equilibrium of the machine.
The whole aeroplane weighs twenty ki!os
less than the Bird of Prey" It Is mounted
on single cycle wheel equipped with an
automobile tire for the preliminary run be-
fore the aeroplane mounts. Santos-Dumont
discarded the two wheels which he used in
operating the Bird of Prey upon the
theory that the less contact with the earth
the faster and the straighter the rise into
the air. The trials will begin as soon as the
ground at st. Cyr is sufficiently hard to
give a good running surface.
