While the ZR-2 is being groomed
for another test fight, TO take place
as soon as the weather is favorable,
there is little expectation among ex-
perts that she will be able to start for
the United States by the end OF this
month, as had been hoped by Ameri-
can officials. She has flown only
thirty hours and never has been put
to anything like a real test, and the
British builders and experts do not
want to turn her over until she Is up
to all the requirements claimed for her.
The British do not think the coming
test will be sufficient to meet their
expectations in every detail. They
want to fly the airship for a hundred
hours to prove her aid worthiness be-
fore handing her to the Americans.

In ship which has not fully proved
herself.
So far the ZR-e has had only three
test flights. In the first the control
wires loosened quickly under half power

The second time ii was discovered that
the new design of balanced elevators

became necessary to cut these down. In
the third flight the balanced surfaces

a speed of fifty knots, which is ten less

weakened and some gave way under the
strain, necessitating extensive repairs
These have been made at Howden, with
the members or the American crew
watching. Now the repairs have been
completed. but a thorough test is more

Never Under Full Power.

The airship has never been driven
under full power. On the last flight only
four motors out Of six were running
when the faults were discovered, so the
British designers do not consider these
preliminary tests as a fair proof of what
the ship can do. She. has satisfied them
regarding her speed, and they are confi-
dent that she Will do better than sixty
knots under full power. But because Of
the new features which have been EN-

at the best Of her structural efficiency

their hands-that the airship Is really
success. She is their pet child, and they
do not want misfortune TO befall her
when she is given into allen hands.
While the Americans are in a hurry to
get her home the British do not want to
take any chances, so a further delay is
likely.
