The fuselage will have two cock
pits. The forward one is even with
the wings, and contains two seats
arranged side by side for the two
pilots. The rear cockpit is behind
the wings, and is provided for the
navigator Of the fight.
A small bunk is built in between
the seats and the pilot off duty can
stretch himself out for G short rap
during the fight.
The wings are braced by struts
attached to the pontoons, which in
turn are rigidly fastened to the
fuselage by other struts. The two
pontoons are spaced fifteen feet
apart and are about half the length
Of the machine, making capsizing
impossible.
The pontoons were attached to
the machine in place Of wheels be-
cause Of the nature of the flight

amount of parasite" resistance of
monoplane, as compared to biplane,
it is estimated that 300 horsepower
will be sufficient to drive the White
monoplane at an average speed of
10 miles an hour.
In accordance with this estimate,
the monoplane can be propelled with
the centre 3O0-horsepower motor
alone,~ or with the two 150-horse-
power wing motors. BY means of
this arrangement it is figured that
the possibility Of failure is elm
mated, as sufficient power to send
the n1onoplane forward at normal
speed is always being held in re-
serve.
In addition to this the motors will
be given equal periods Of rest
throughout the long flight. After
running a certain number Of hours,
the centre engine will be shut off,
and the TWO wing motors started up
for an equal number of hours. This
programme will be continued
throughout. 1t will also allow the
pilots to make any minor repairs
necessary during fight, as we'll as
to make periodical inspection.
1t will be quite possible for the
pilots to install new spark plugs,
make carburetor adjustments, at
tend to ignition trouble, OR similar
minor troubles, while in fight.
The construction Of the mono
plane is unique in that it is COM
pletely rigid throughout. The White
truss system is used in the construc-
ton of the wings. Wires are not
used in any part Of the construction

Its Dimensions

The dimensions of the machine
are as follows: Spread of wings,
81 feet; length over all, 80 feet;
height to top of fuselagc, 8 feet :;
weight, empty, $500 pounds; weight
with crew and fuel for transpacific
flight, 1900 pounds.
The monoplane is equipped with
three Hispano Suiza engines. The
centre engine is built into the nose
Of the machine and is Of 300 horse
power. The other two engines are
of $50 horsepower each, and are
fitted to the wings on either side
Of the fuselage.
The motors are SO arranged in a
unique plan always to keep 800
horsepower in reserve throughout

Alaska, $50 miles.
Then comes the first long lap
across the open Pacific, from Sitka
to Unalaska on the Aleutian Isl
ands, distance of 1900 miles, en-
tirely out Of sight of land.
Following this is the longest lap
of the flight, from Unalaska to
Petro Pavlovsk, 1900 miles. AL
though this is the longest leg Of
the fight, the aviators will be in
sight Of land for the geater portion
Of it, as they will run practically
parallel to the Aleutian group of
Islands.
Should the moaoplane successfully
fly as far as the small town of Petro
Pavlovsk, on the end of the Kam-
chatka peninsula that juts out Of
Siberia, the transpacitic fight will
have been accomplished. The CON-
pany, however, plans to continue on
to Shanghai, China, by way Of Yoko-
hama, Japan.
The leg from Petro Pavlovsk to
Yokohama will involve another non
stop flight of 1,400 miles. The
flight will be completed to Shanghai
by comparatively short leg Of $50
miles.
The White monoplane is one Of the
most remarkable airplanes ever de-
signed, and is built into complete
rigid unit. 1t is a seaplanc, fitted
with two pontoons rigidly attached
to the body and wings of the ma

Prize Conditions

According to the terms of the
Thomas H. Ince prize, as at present
regulated, the fight must be made
from the hydro-aeroplane station
at Venice, Cal. The finish must
be made on rhe mainland of Austria
liza, or on the mainland of the
japanese group Of islands or on
the Philippine group or on the con-
tinent of Asia if westward
If eastward the flight can be
started from any of the points men,
toned, but the finish must be on the
mainland of the United States of
America. The northern and south
ern limits Of the fight are SCI down
as follows: Northern route, between
ATTITUDES 40 degrees north and 32.33
north. Souther route, between
ATTITUDES 41.35 degrees north and
3845 degrees south.
The contest is confined between
the months of September, 1919, and
February. 1920, inclusive, and the
contestants must complete the
transpacific flight within 288 hours
from the time Of starting.
The contestants may use land or
water type of flying craft. but in
any case must pass over the main
land Of both continents after start
ing and before landing.

The Route

The route will extend from
Alaska to the kamchatka PENN
sula in Asia, just below where the
Aleutian Islands mark the bound
airy between the Behring Sea and
the Pacific Ocean. Although this
is fairly northern route, Governor
Riggs estimates that the average
temperature will be at least 53-le
grees, which is not expected to
offer any great hardships to the
pilots or navigators.
The machine will have two pilots,
who viii sit side by side in the for
ward cockpit. Another cockpit
just behind the wings will be occu-
pied by the navigator of the flight.
The first lap will be from Los
Angeles to San Francisco, a dis
tance Of $50 miles. From. there
the machine will fly to Victoria, B.
G., distance Of 400 miles. The

Will be undertaken by the largest
monoplane in the world during the
next month, if the machine can be
completed in time. The flight will
be split up into legs in the same
manner as that of the United States

The route has already been

engagements made. The assistance
Of the Pacific Aero Club. the
Aerial League of Canada and the
Hon. Thomas Riggs, jr., Governor
of Alaska, has been obtained. The
latter is at Sitka now preparing
arrangements for the stop there.
The monoplane is now being COM
pleted at the factory of the George

the careful design.
In addition to this the watertight
material used in the construction Of
the fuselage is also sufficient to
keep the monoplane afioat, even
should the pontoons be broken off
in landing upon the water. With
the flight over the steamship lanes
for the greater portion of the way
there is practically no chance Of
