The multiplane invented by
Mr.. r. NJ. Metcalf, which has
been under construction at Mo.
Valley for the past few weeks,
has now reached the stage of
completion.
This machine is attracting
much attention of the thinking
man, as the machine has the
same principals as are used in
the most successful flyers, be-
sides the advantage of inherent
stability which means safety as
the never failing law Of gravity
tends to holding the machine
right side up while in flight in.
stead of depending on the mind
nerve and skill of fallible man.
The machine is large COM
pared with the ordinary flying
machine, having an area of
about $40 square feet of sup
porting surface, being divided
into q system Of long narrow
planes which give the surface
greater buoyancy. 7 h e 8 8
planes are so arranged that
they may be set at any desired
angle from front to back to aid
in governing the speed of flight.
By swinging them forward they
gather, pack OF compress the
air and aid greatly in making
an easy landing, and in flying
slowly and by swinging them
backwards they lessen the re-
sistance and thereby increase
the speed, and at the same time
aid in the stability of the ma
chine.
This machine is now nearly
ready for trial fights only
lacking a few minor parts in
the way of control. However
it has been taken out on the
field on two occasions and drv-
en- at q considerable speed On
the ground trying cut the no
tor and other working parts.
The principal plane system is
built in two decks deep and
three planes from front to back.
The center of gravity is plac-
ed low with a surface rising di-
rectly over this point then d.
viding and extending horizontal
ly to right and left which pre-.
vents the machine skidding
sideways.
The propeller is placed be-
hind the center of resistance
driving the part that carries
the load instead Of driving the
load. It is powered with a 6
cylinder, Is horsepower maxi
motor, made especially fol
aeroplane purposes.
The machine is shout 10 #
