St. Louis.-The incorporation of the
Universal Aerial Navigation Company
to conduct business in Missouri, has
revealed plans for a commercial pas
senger airship that rivals the dreams
OF Jules Verne.
Officers of the company declare that
within a year they will have ships
sailing the skies that will carry up a
hundred passengers in forty-mile
wind at a speed of 100 miles an hour
II desired.
The machine is the invention of J..
A. Oman, formerly of San Antonio.
Texas, but now a ST. Louisan. One is
in process of construction now in the
shops of the inventor.
The inventor asserts that his ship
can start either from the land or wa
ter. He declares it will ascend
straight into the air, or can be
launched in the manner of an aero
plane.
The new airship is called a gyro-
plane. so named from the fact that
1t is combination of gyroscope. hell
eopter and the aeroplane.
"a thirty or forty-mile breeze would
be help rather than hindrance to
our machine. said the inventor. I'VE
will maintain absolute equilibrium. An
ordinary airship will be nothing to
this machine of ours.
1t is planned to. construct machines
that will maintain a regular passenger
service between cities and states and
even countries. The gasoline supply
may be unlimited.
The machine has been inspected by
government engineers and many ex-
perts in machinery and navigation
of the air. They all have pronounced
dt the greatest invention of the kind
that ever has been made.
