Signcr Vaugean His announcement
has caused intense excitement in avi
alton circles in Europe. The in
ventOr asserts that it not only will
revolutionize aerial warfare but air
transportation as we'll.
Instead of using inflammable gas
to make the airship rise Vaugean has
caused a vacuum inside the envelope
by means of pumps worked by en-
gires, which also rropel the craft.
This principle has been sought by
inventors for hundreds of years I'M
suCc essfully because the models al
ways collapsed owing to the enor-
nous atmospheric pressure.
Vaugean contends that he will over
come this difficulty by building the
air5hip in three sections, one inside
the other. The space between the
outside covering and the first interior
will be exhausted of a portion of its
air, the next space still more and
the center compartment will be made
as near vacuum as possible.
In this manner the outside at
mo1rheric pressure is distributed
over three surfaces, being reduced to
less than five pounds square inch
on any portion Of the ship.
Four engines of 800 horsepower
each. burning heavy oil instead OF
gasoline, will reduce the fire risk. BY
increasing or decreasing the vacuum
with the pumps the ship will rise or
fall at will
British experts accept the plan as
feasible. but refuse to make any com
