George D. White, president Of
the concern, who was formerly with
The Glen L. Martin Company, de-
clares that if the monoplane can
make the 7,OOO-mile fight over
strange waters with safety and sue
cess it will be capable Of all ordi-
nary flying in the development of
commercial aviation.
1--WE have chosen a monoplane,"
he says, because we know, and all
aeronautical engineers admit, that
the monopiane is far more efficient
than the biplanc. 1t is the parasitic
resistance that is the bugaboo Of
aeronautics.
1T has been stated by Grover c.
Looming, one of America foremost
aeronautical engineers, that for
every pound OF parasitic resistance
eliminated ten pound: of useful
load can be added. The average
bipiane uses up fully so per cent of
It's power to overcome this resist
ance, which is caused by struts and
hundreds of feet of vibrating cable.
In brief, since this is not in
tended as a technical discussion,
although | am willing to go into
detail further should any one desire,
we have but SO per cent Of the re-
sistance of the average biplane
Look at the view of the NC-4 OF
other large biplanes, and then at
the White monoplane, with its alb
sence of struts and wires, and this
will be clear.
