lifting power was to be gained by hav-

body, while the side propellers would

In the air, Doctor Zahm contin-
ued, this machine could maneuver ex-
actly as does the ordinary plane, cut
figures and do stunts, besides being
able to rest motionless In any desired
position--vertical with nose up, II
need be.
The best feature. he said, Is that
both planes Of the new types are en-
tirely feasible and can be constructed
at any time. In fact, several Euro
pean inventors and manufacturers arr

DR.. Albert r. Zahm, Expert for
the Navy, Declares 1t Is
Not an lmpossibllity.
TWO TYPES OFFERED TO U. S.
Experiments Are Continuing In Hope
Of Perfeetino a Motor That Can
Be Depended Upon to Main
tain Machine In Air.

Washington.-The helicoptor. or YER
teal rising air machine. is not an
impossibility, and. should real use
for such a type arise, successful ones
may be seen before many years, &C
cordipg to DIR. Albert +. Zahm. aero
nautical expert for the navy. Had
there been a need for the helicopter
during the war, he said, any Of several
types could have been perfected. OF
which working models have been
flown.
Much interest has been shown Of
late In reports of successful machines
of the helicopter type being perfected
in both Germany and England. How
ever, while some flights have been
made, none of any consequence are
reported by machine equipped with
horizontal propellers or revolving
planes, designed to rise vertically from
q confined space and descend ON the
same.
That the helicopter is possible Doctor
Zahm said, Is proved by the German
machine, which. rising several times to
moderate heights, has carried observ.
ers, remained almost stationary while
In the air, and descended In safety
The machine, however, has made nc
extended flight, such as would prove
Its dependabllity, but was tethered tC
the ground by mooring rope. Al
times, when the motors failed, tn,
machine dropped, and the passenger
saved themselves only by leaping witt
parachutes.
The experiments are continuing
however, with the purpose of perfect
ing motor which can be depende
sudden failure, the scientist explained
for, as soon as the engine stops, tn
machine cannot glide to the gr0unt
as does an airplane, but drops We
tically. In proper descent the pr
pellers should be whirled slowly

lions. that the body OF the machine
may not spin like a top.
Whether or not this type Of machine
Is brought TO actual use, Doctor Zahm
stated, at least two other types Of
planes that may fly vertically have
been offered to the government. This
fact Is not widely known.
One OF these, of which DR.. Zahm OBJ

present type Of plane. except that
mounted behind the body were two
sets Of air vanes, in groups, tilted n'
