proposition than an art susceptible OF
practical benefits, and this has really
hurt aviation more than it has helped.
Speed has appealed pre-eminently to
racing men and to what may appro-
priately be termed the nautical aero
bats, and in some senses this speed
has saved more lives than it has sac
rificed under the hazardous circum-
stances of its employment. The vic
torious Vedrines strongly advocates
speed on the score that it makes for
safety by offsetting or combating more
successfully atmospheric vagaries
while in flight, but this element O.
high velocity multiplies the hazard or
the difficulty of alighting as we'll as
increasing the danger of engine trou-
BILE and shortness of the life of the
motor
For war purposes an aeroplane mo-
tor should work efficiently at different
speeds because varying drive power
will be needed for dissimilar services
A motor of this sort would lend itself
to relatively low speed so that the
flying machine could return to the
ground much as a vessel slackens her
headway when coming up to her dock.
Captain Chambers has very definite
opinion upon this subject. which he
explains as follows:
"a weight carrying aeroplane, such
as hydroaeroplane, necessarily needs
a motor with considerable range of
speed, and the same kind of motor is
needed to reduce the danger of alight-
ing. I think aviation would be i'm
proved If the terms of future speed
contests were arranged so as to re-
quire each contestant to go over the
course twice-the second time at an
average speed 20 per cent. lower than
his highest average"
The layman has heard so much Of
anti-balloon guns and other weapons
for the annihilation of all kinds of air
| craft, that he pictures the flying ma
chine as being knocked into bits by
the precise fire of these weapons. AS
matter of fact. during the war in
Tripoli the Italian aeroplanes were
but seldom hit, never disastrously and
! when up in the air three thousand feet
they were not touched at all. Ame-i-
can naval aviators, with their hydro
aeroplanes,sh have proved that it is en-
tirely feasible for them to reach this
height. and so far as endurance Of
fight is concerned. they hold the rec
ord-Lieutenant Towers of the navy
having travelled for six hours ten min
utes and twenty seconds in a stand
ard navy Curtiss hydroaeroplane. In
ventors have developed an aeroplane
wireless outfit of very moderate
weight and with this equipment
aviators are able to cover a range of
fifty miles.
The next naval conflict is likely 10
find hvdroaeroplanes a feature of the
essential equipment of all large men-of-
war. and the flying machine must be
considered seriously and not as a mere
fad or a mechanical achievement of no
material value. II peace-time maner-
vers the French have clearly shown
that the aeroplane is capable of doing
scout duty of an important character
detecting not only ships upon the wa
ter. but the presence of submarines
supposedly hidden below the surface
of the sea; and recent experiments
with armor piercing bombs-dropped
from aircraft-have turned a new
page in the art of warfare.
