Giant Aircraft Building

p Plans for the construction Of a

fected by the Navy Department to-
gether with plans for the construc-
tion OF a hangar with 10000. 600
cubic feet capacity to house the big
ships. II became known yesterday.
There will undoubtedly be q race
on between the United States,
France and Great Britain in the
construction Of dirigibles. Assum-
ing. experts say. 1o.ooo.o0o cubic
feet to be the limit within the next
five years, such a ship would be
1.10o feet long and 134 feet in dis-
meter. Her length would be 200
feet more than that Of the Levia-
than.

The American 5000, 900 ~ubic feet
ship will have q length OF 800 feet
and a diameter of 1os feet The
diameter of the 'R-34 IL seventy
eight feet She has Q dimension Of
100000 cubic feet
Naval experts pointed out that
America must have ship for ship of
the enormous dirigible type with
any nation In the world. or she
must provide some means not yet
invented to cope with an attack by
hostile feet Of such giant airi
craft The anti-aircraft gun has
too narrow limitations and the best
solution. so far advanced. is to have
feet suficientfy large to permit
of an advanced base. from which
attacks might be anticipated.
o. s. to Duplicate R-S4.
The Navy Department proposes as
an initial experiment to build q
dirigible the size of the R-34. The
British ship Is said to be a dupli-
cate of the famous German L-3a,
which was brought down at Little
Wigbury. England. in 1915. The l.
3S was the latest thing Germany
possessed at that time The British
experts studied their prize, and the
R-34 is the result. Over one thou
sand drawings and a large number
OF photographs OF the L-33 have
been loaned by the British gov
ernment to the United States.
