ington inventor, Is now busily engaged
in further pcrfccting his vertical-ris-

pose.
The Bcrliner helicopter has under
gone n series OF tests at the flying field

the American Army and Navy and mill
tary attaches OF foreign governments
stationed here. All have pronounced

Quircd.
I'VE havo demonstrated that our
machine can rise vertically from tho

day. but the problem OF landing safely

Bringing New Machine
To Earth Is Problem

Mr.. Berllner would not discuss the
possibility Of entering his invention in
the competition for the 125o,ooo prize
offered by private British interests for
tho perfected helicoptcr. He said,
however, that II he perfects his ma
chine so that It will land with safety
tho future OF tho helcopter Is as
sured.
Bringing the machine 70 earth safe
ly, therefore. is tho big problem that
Berliner has set out TO solve. The ma
chino as now designed comes down
with a rock-like fall when the motor
is cut OF. with an engine Of extreme
nicety Of adjustment and absolute GER
tainty OF action descent might be
made by simply throttlng down the
propeller speed gradually. As there Is
no engine OF such dependability, other
means must be found by Berliner
The use Of parachutes or any bal
loon-like aid would add too much
weight 20 the machine. Another
method proposed Is that in coming
down the propellers be 80 built that
they can be disconnected from the
engine and tho angle Of the blades
changed so that they will offer greater
resistance.
The Berllner machine resembles an
airplanc without wings. The fuselage
and ruddcr arc the same, and a Ler-
hone ii0-horsepower rotary motor Is
mounted forward as In an airplane.
On either side Of the fuselage thero Is
an upright carrying a fourteen-foot
propeller. These two propellers re-
volve in opposite directions and force
the air downward, lifting the i,+oo-
pound machine and pilot of the
ground.
Near the tail there Is small pro-
pcllcr. which is geared also TO the
motor aud which tilts the entire hell
copter by slightly lifting its tail. This
tilt causes the forward motion Of the
machine. Tho inventor claims that
with looo-pound load but 3 per cent
OF the lift is lost in a tilt Of Is de-
grecs. and that this loss is transferred
into horizontal push Of about % per
cent Of lifting power. This Is some
what greater tilt than has been used
In most OF the experiments. but he
thinks that a 25-degree tilt may possi-
bly, be reached safely.
