THE BRENNAN HELICOPTER
AND FUTURE FLYING.

An airplane that rises straight
up in the air and descends slowly
the same way, instead of requir-
ing a large landing field!
Such an invention, the long
sought goal of aviators, is said
to have been perfected by Louis
Brennan, Englishman, assisted by
the British air ministry. A minia-
ture model of such plane was dis
played in Americas several years
ago at the Sumter county fair.
The model was designed and
made by Lieut.. Brennan, an Off
Ger stationed at Souther Field. 1t
is possible this is the same Bren-
nan-and the same machine.
Brennan's airplane, of the hell
copter type. can stand still in the
air 80 minutes, in a wind blow
ing up to 20 miles an hour. So
asserted the inventor of the
model plane shown here. So
also claim people who have seen
Brennan's completed model test
ed out.
Such an invention would revo-
lutionize flying.
You can now buy a good air
plane, one that is reasonably
safe, as chcaply as you can buy a
good auto.
The obstacle that has kept the
airplane from coming into gen
eral use is the necessity of hay-
ing a big landing field to glide
over before rising into the air or
when descending.
If Brennan's machine does
what is claimed for it, this OBJ
stacle is eliminated.
For instance, you would keep
your plane in a garage with
roof opening like a trapdoor.
Climb into your machine, soar
straight up, go where you want
to come back, descend slowly in
a straight line, settling gently
back into the garage.
Even if Brennan's invention
does not turn out as expected
it is only question of time I'M
til such q device will be perfect
ed. Experiments by other hell
copter operators make this GER
tain.
Hansen, the German, nearly
year ago, exhibited in Holland a
helicopter expected to travel
3l2 miles an hour. Nothing has
been heard of him since, so his
mchine apparently needed more
tinkering before being placed on
the market.
A heiicopter, by the way, has
special propeller blades above
and below the airplane, parallel
with the ground. Thus, in ris-
ing. the upper blades create
vacuum in the air, into which
the plane rises. Americas peo-
pie who saw the Brennan model
plane here will recall that its
fasjlage was so constructed as to
carry a quantity of helium gas
this TO give buoyancy to the
machine.
With helicopter plane you
could land on the flat roofs of
buildings or even settle slowly
into the street. When Brennan's
model machine was first exhibit
ed here the helicopter had not
been thought of. He described
his plane as a combination of
@irplane and balloon. But he had
the helicopter idea.
Complete plans of the Bren-
nan machine were offered the
United States government. But
tins government declined to aid
in.perfecting the invention.
With marvel like Brennan
claims his helicopter to be, man
would be better flyer than a
bird, for a bird glides outward
when soaring into the air.
