Il esteems height even as the sailor
esteems deep water. with an ample
freeboard, and for similar rasons.
For every 1000 feet Of height the av-
erae airplane can Tide a distance Of
about a mile, so that a pilot whose en-
CINE fails at a height Of 10000 feet
IS safe for ten mile journey in any
direction. In a recent experiment an
sirplane from a height OF 10000 feet
Elided 20 miles with the engine Off,
landing safely.
Therefore. the pilot has a circle OF
country 20 miles in diameter and
nearly SIS square miles from which
to choose a suitable landing ground.
Compare this with the idea Of engine
failure at 1000 feet. or worse. still. a
few hundred feet. and you will see
why airmen say, safety in height"
In aerial fighting the value or
height IS even greater. for the man
