Fuel Capacity OF 1000 MILES.

The fuel capacity Of the new navy
machine is for 1000 miles of travel. The
route from Newfoundland to the Azores
is the proposed air one to he taken on
the transatlantic flight. This is the
longest lap between landings on the
entire trip. The new Model T is con-
structed along the basic designs OF the
F-5-L, the gigantic bombing seaplane
on exhibition at the Aero Show. The
F-5-L. however. IS only twin motored
tractor and capable OF carrying only five
passengers The total weight of the lat
ter plane is $4,000 pounds, while the
New Model T will exceed twice that fig
ure.
The building Of the New Model 7 has
been kept n secret for the several months
IT has been under way. and the first hint
OF its existence was had last night from
among officials OF the Aero Show. The
name OF the pilot on its proposed trp
across the Atlantic was not divulged, al
though II was definitely stated that It
will not be Commander II. c. Richard
son, who Is assigned TO steer tho NC-l
on its overseas voyage.
With five engines pulling her across
the sea. the New Model r would be able
to stop at least two of these for repairs
at any time trouble developed

ger capacity would no sacrificed to load

NAVY IS BUILDING
LARGEST AIRPLANE
Machine Has Wing Span of
$50 Feet and Five Liberty
Motors.

A new secret is out IN Americas plans
to beat all other nations across the At
lantic in an airplane. II was disclosed
yesterday at the Aero Show that the
navy Is not content with but one plane
to make the transatlantic attempt In
addition to the NC-1. supposed to be
the country's biggest airship. the navy
is working night and day on the largest
plane in the history OF aeronautics, the
New Model T.
The New Model T Is being built in
daylight and darkness at League Island.
where the naval aircraft factory was
established to meet the production at the
beginning of the war. 1t has a wing
span of $50 feet. which Is 1o4 feet more
than the NC-1. generally accredited
with being the largest airplane yet I'M
der construction. It has five Liberty
motors. three tractors and two pushers.
with a nacelle designed to carry seventy
five passengers.
