Government to Issue New
Specifications for AeropIanes.
MORE STRICT IN FUTURE
Requirements Will Be for Greater
Endurance, But Foreign En-
gines May Be Used.
MORE STRICT IN FUTURE

Specifications will be issued within a
few days by the War Department detail
ing the requirements in aeroplanes want
ed by the department during the coming
year. These specifications have not been
made public: but it is understood that
they will mark a radical departure from
what has been demanded by the govern
ment heretofore. The requirements will
open a good deal wider field to American
manufacturers Of aeroplanes than has
been available before, and they will be a
Jolt to domestic manufacturers also be-
cause they will demand the utmost posi-
BILE in the present stage of aviation de-
velopment and if the government cannot
get what it wants in this country it will
90 abroad and purchase machines there.
Army officers have been decidedly disa p
pointed at the lack of progress and
initiative displayed by the manufacture
ers that heretofore have supplied aero
planes to the government. and as one OF
them said i'm discussing the matter recen
Iy: we do not care a rap what the type
of machine is. who makes 1t, or within
reason what it costs. All We care about
is that it shall deliver the goods.
For this reason there is no par 10
monoplanes biplanes or pOlyplanes for
that matter, if any such exist. The spec
ifications viii demand endurance in the
motor. Sneed within reasonable limits and
the ability to get into and get out OF a
restricted landing space, If such has to
be selected by the aviator In the course
of a cross-country flight
May Use Foreign Engines.
If the aeroplanes are manufactured in
America. they can even be equipped with
a foreign engine, and three types OF en-
eines will be specified that hold endur-
ance and reliability records that will be
accountable to this government There
will he no requirement either that the
engines shall be of foreign manufacture.
Congress has not yet passed on the Dill
to give the Signal Corps more officers
but it is thought there is fair POSSIBILITY
of having fifty-flve more omcers avail
able for flying duty.
The Navy Department has presented to
Congress a plan that has not yet Deem
definitely passed upon for the same sort
of government competition in aero
planes that has been held by some of
the powers abroad. This would include
total of $35.0C0 in prizes. to be distributed
among the competing manufacturers
There would be a first prize of $1O.Oo
for the winning machine. a prize of 5000
for the best motor and $1,000 for the best
stabiliZer These would grade down In
second and third prizes, and IN addltlon
there would be ten prizes of 5000 .each
for manufacturers who had presented
machines complying with the government
specifications, but not winning any OF the
big awards.
If such a competition as this is author
lied by Congress 1T will do more than
anything else to stimulate the designing
and manufacture of high-class aeroplanes
in this country.
