new TYPE AEROPLANES
GIVEN flight tests
Army and Navy Men Observe Newport
News Trials,

Glenn H. Curtiss, aviation expert, has
returned to Washington this morning
after spending a day at Newport News
with a number of army and navy men
watching the initial flights and trials OF
several new types of aeroplanes at the
Atlantic Coast Aeronautical Station.
We few eight different types" he said !:
"a couple of land biplanes, big tri-
plane. three hydros, a flying boat and
a new type of triplane speed scout This
latter machine, which was made primarily
for speed work, has a record OF 40
miles per hour with a 110-horsepower mo-
tor, is on a par with the European
models of this type, and with a high
powered motor that we expect to put
in it. a performance superior to any for
eign machine may be expected"
Another Curtiss model, a weight-carry-
ing hydro, climbed at the rate Of $500
feet in ten minutes, which is unusual
for a large seaplane OF this character,
equipped as IT is with heavy pontoons.
At the present there are seventy-five stu
dents in training. and the sky Is dotted
with machines from five O'Clock In the
morning until dark.

this and is ready to build 1000 vessels. 50
