Aerial Navigation Project.

Spokane, Wash, March 29.-One
million dollars is the stated capt ali
cation of the Spokane-Chicago Aerial
Transportation company, in process
of organizing here to manufacture q
machine with a carrying capacity OF
200 passengers from designs of T.. A.
| Whyte, inventor of a 10-passsnger
airship, with which he will give a
public demonstration here early in
April. He claims to have travelled
SO miles in 70 minutes with this
model adding:
My new machine will be CT a
heavier-than-air type and is to be rs
! feet in length and 10 feet wide. The
car and the framework will be most
ly of aluminium not weighing more
than 1900 pounds, and it will have
a lifting capacity of $500 pounds.
The car will be controlled and oper-
ated with three 50-horse power en-
gines and will have long, stationary
wings. which are designed to give
equilibrium and buoyancy at all
times.
y ''The balloon is to be 500 feet in
length and rs feet in diameter. The
bag is composed Of Is cells controll-
ed by separate tubes, the inlets and
outlets being operated by imitation
and defation waves. In addition,
there is a %percolator inside of the bag
and this is filled with air by automat-
ic means.
II have demonstrated that my ma
chine is practicable for commercial
purposes and the capitalists in east
ern Washington and northern Idaho
backing this enterprise of making
flights to Chicago and return believe
it will be a great success. l expect
to attain a sped of 80 miles an hour
under favorable conditions"
Mr.. Whyte announced also that he
will make a demonstration for the
United States government in a short
time with a high explosive to be
hurled from airships in war, adding
that the experiments will take place
near an eastern navy yard.
