OF The AIR.
Oman Promises Wonders For
His GyropIane.
STARTS ON LAND OR WATER

st. Louis Inventor Expects to Carry In
His Monster Airship q Hundred Pas
sensers at One Hundred Miles an
Hour-Machine Can Stand Still at
One Spot In tho Air indefinitely.
The Incorporation Of an aerial nav
igation company at St Louis has re-
vealed plans for a commercial passen-
ger airship that rivals the widest
dreams Of Jules Verne. officials Of
the company declare that within a
year they VIII have a ship that will
carry up hundred passengers In
forty mile wind and at speed Of 100
miles an hour.
The machine is the invention Of J.
w. Oman, formerly of San Antonio,
Tex, but at present at St Louis. One
Is In process of construction in the
shops Of the inventor at st. Louis. The
inventor claims that his ship can start
either from the land or water. He de-
clares 1t will ascend straight into the
air or can be launched in the manner
Of an aeroplane.
May Be Built In Any Sire.
The new airship Is called gyro-
plane, so named from the fact that II is
a combination Of gyroscope, the hell
copter and the aeroplane. Its pro-
moters say 1t can be built in any size
from two man runabout or a seven
passenger touring car to a monster Of
the aiy that will carry fifty or hun
dred passengers. A-~.....-..---
"a thirty or forty mile breeze would
be help rather than a hindrance to
our machine" said the inventor the
other day. 1--WE will maintain abso-
lutte equilibrium in anything short of
a cyclone. The usual obstacles that
prevent the fight Of an ordinary air
ship will be as nothing to this machine
of ours"
1t is planned to construct machines
that will maintain a regular service
between cities and states and even
countries.
Carries Four Huge Propellers.
The gyroscope and the helicopter are
familiar principles in heavier than air
navigation, but never before have they
been applied in the manner employed
by Oman. The model of his ship Is
fitted with four huge propellers, twelve
feet I'm diameter, which may be used
In turn for drawing the machine from
the ground or carrying it through the
air.
The machine has been inspected by
government engineers and pronounced
superior to all others. ii Is declared.
Ten patents have been granted, cover
ing almost every feature of the ma
chine. The machine Is TO be construct
ed entirely of aluminium and macad-
amite and besides carrying four propel-
lers Is fitted with two engines.
The inventor asserts the machine
can be made to stand still at one spot
In the air for an indefinite time. I'VE
could drop thousand bombs on war
ship from height Of two miles with
out moving foot" he declared. Oman
has studied aerial navigation twenty
years.
