Europe and most Of the factories have
orders g, year or two ahead. The
production is at the rate of about 500
a year in the United States and pos
sibly twice that number in Europe.
While the cost of flying has been
high in the past, it has paid those who
have undertaken it pretty we'll. Paul
han, who started in as circus tight
rope walker, has made a comfortable
fortune with his aeroplanes. Before
he took to flying he was working for
SIS week in an aeroplane factory in
Paris. He made a. local reputation in
several flights and then, by beating
the record for high flying, his services
were Immediately in demand at $1,000
IA meet. Within two years he had
captured in prizes or won by aviation
flights 100000. Bleriot was another
fortunate record maker, for which he
received nearly 100000 before he
went into manufacturing.
After all, the aeroplane is still in
its experimental stage. When the
flights can be made without the dan
ger of disaster every time motor re-
fuses to work or propeller gets
stuck or steering apparatus breaks,
the cost Of flying will be enormously
reduced. The cost today comes from
mishaps rather than from anything
else. Eliminate the hazards Of dis
aster to the machine and flying will
be no more expensive sport than
many others now so popular-auto-
mobifing, for instance, or owning
your own steam yacht or large motor

, to make fame and money. Most Of the
aeroplane man with national or in
ternational fame can get $1,000 for
each exhibition at fairs and aviation
meets. In addition to this they can
qualify for any of the big prize COM
petitions constantly being arranged in
towns and. cities. The earnings of a
successful flyer, who has no serious
mtshaps,i may thus in the ordinary
course OF events reach $25,0OO a sea-
son, and If one of the big prizes is
won in addition the rewards may be
increased one-half to two-thirds. His
aeroplane is thus paid for, and all of
his expense within a year, and a
comfortable little sum left over.
Barring break-downs and accidents
Of all kinds, the cost Of flying is COM
paratively light. Grahame White, who
f1rst made a real effort to figure out
the actual cost Of flying with his fifty
horse power motor, estimated that the
approximate cost was about six cents
a mile. This was for the petrol and
lubricatinE oil. In Hamilton's flights
from Philadelphia to New York, the
cost of fuel and lubricating oil for the
trip averaged AZ cents per mile. With
the aeroplanes Of ordinary make not
intended to break speed records, the
cost Of flying would be much cheaper,
for the twenty-five horse power mot
ors consume less fuel and oil in a
forty-mile spin. It may be done at a
cost of three cents q mile in these
smaller machines.
But accidents Of minor nature are
almost sure to happen sooner or later
and the repairs and cost Of upkeep
must be figured. Also the cost Of de-
probation. We have no data on which
to base the average life Of useful
ness Of an aeroplane. The changes
have been made SO rapidly that an
aeroplane is apt to be out of date
within year. Some are changed and
improved every few months. The
lack of absolute Standardization Is
responsible for this. But that applies
more particularly to the racing ma
chimes. II one Is content to purchase
an ordinary aeroplane for pleasure
without entering contests and exhibi-
tions, there Is no reason why barr
ing accidents Of serious nature, 1t
should not continue to fly for several
years.
But the airship is far Trailer ma
chine than the automobile. It is
constructed on the principle Of reduc-
ing It to q minimum Of weight con-
sistent with strength. This process
has It's disadvantages. It makes the
liability to- accident very great, and
1t reduces the durability Of the whole
