 THE LENGTH OF FLIGHTS There has been considerable curiosity expressed as to how long an airship of the Curtiss bi-plane pattern could stay in the air. MT. Willard when questioned yesterday said if everything tAan he nnlN tA tC on durance, is the gasoline supply The ships used here carry about five gal Ions of gasoline which at the usual rate of consumption ought to keep the | machine supplied for an hour and a half to two hours. There are several reasons why such long flights are not undertaken ordinarily. One is that ! the continual pumping of the engine ! naturally has the effect of straining i the construction of the bi-plane. which l is necessarily fragile. The longer the ' engine works the greater the strain, i and one cannot blame the aviator for | being anxious after he has been up ten ! or. fifteen minutes. to know Eow the | construction is standing. the strain. | Naturally everything will wear out and ! break sometime, and the longer the I test put on the machine the more | chance for something to go wrong It ! might stay up two hours every day for 1 many days. but there is greater se- ! curity in coming down occasionally and [ looking the situation over. and then l if it is all right. going up again, for i admittedly the bi-plane is vet long | way fromlperfection in strength as well | as other things Another reason for ! short flights is that if the aviator is gone too long from the grounds his audience becomes nervous and tired of waiting. And while he did not say so. it is likely that about ten or fifteen minutes at time is as long as an avi- ator wants to listen to the rattling of 1 the big engine.
