Curtiss calls his machine a bipIane,
and it is much lighter than the
Wright machine. The biplane has a
supporting surface Of 269 square feet
and weighs a little over 400 pounds.
The engine is the oldest feature of
the CuTtiss machine. It has four
small cylinders not much larger than
tomato cans, but is so powerful thai
it drives the machine through the air
at almost lightning speed. It is be-
Heved to be the most powerful engine
of its size ever built. Mr.. Curtiss
would have made a much longer flight
at Morris park had not his machine
ccme in contact with a gliding con-
trivance that stood in his path The
biplane rises entirely by its own pow
err, thus taking flight from a standing
start, which in itself is a novelty in
heavier than air machines.
