AIRPLANE USES
 GASOLINE BUT
 IT GETS THERE

The reason why an airplane "or fly ing boat is considered expensive in the matter up upkeep is because it travels so much faster than an auto mobile, according to Paul G. Zim- hermann, engineer of the Aeromar- inc and Motor Company.
 ''When you tell a man that three passenger flying boat with a 15o horse power motor consumes about 13.7 gallons of gasoline per hour he is horrified,' MT. Zimmerman said in discussing the cost of operating air planes at the New York Air Show.
 "Generally he gets out a pencil and calculates that at twenty-five cents a gallon this is SAP for one hour. He tells you he can use his heavy tour ing car three or four hours on that amount of fuel and proves it on pa- per. He reckons his gasoline con- sumption at a gallon for seven or eight miles and announces he can tour at the rate of a little more than three gallons an hour. The best way to convince him a flying boat isn't so expensive is to ask him how far he can go in that time. He will probably say twenty or twenty-five miles, Then tell him that while he has crawled that far the flying boat has gone seventy-f1ve miles.
 'In other words, the flying boat burns three or four hours supply of gasoline in one hour, but in that hour it travels the distance it takes the automobile three or four hours to go. The speed makes the fuel consump- tion per hour seem costly.
 Coming down to the actual figures derived by us in practice, the cost per mile for fuel is $.0466 and the flying boat will travel 3.4S miles on one gallon of gasoline. If there is any advantage here for the automobile il is dissipated by the fact that in ad- dition to the gasoline cost in an auto mobile there is also a tire cost rang ing from SOP a mile on the lightest cars to sos on large touring cars.
 Thus, although we do not claim that in the long run flying boat is as cheap to own and operate as an automobile, it is by no means so ex- pensive a matter to fly as in gener- ally believed and constant and rapid improvements are making it more and more inexpensive week by week as in the case of the automobile
