WRIGHT SAYS ATLANTIC
AIR TRIP IS IMPOSSIBLE
Can't Carry Enough Fuel, but
With Improved Motors Flight
May Be Made.

PHILADELPHIA. May 21.--A Transatlantic
flight OF 1900 miles by aeroplane Is i'm
possible at the present stage OF aeroplane
development, according TO Orville Wright,
the American aeroplane inventor. now WIS.,
iting Philadelphia.
More than one-half the weight car
ried by an aeroplane on such trip would
have to be fuel, and that is impossible"
lac said
"A journey OF this distance has never
been made over the land, and is IL advis-
able to try II over the sea- asked Mr..
Wright. IT do not think 80. and ! have
figured II out. Atwood. the aviator. came
TO me short time ago and asked me what
thought about II. I then went to work
on the problem and decided that with our
present form OF motors the feat was i'm
possible.
According to my calculations II would
be impossible TO carry enough fuel to Keep
one OF the present type of motors run
ming continuously for 1900 miles. Our
present form of motor IL wasteful and
we must increase motor efficiency before
We attempt transatlantic flights. 1t might
be all right II the aviator could alight
at intervals for fuel.
II don't believe any aviator will make
the attempt. despite considerable talk of
transatlantic and around the world flights,
until we have different motors and a bet
ter ratio of success In our favor"
