Falling Flowers Gave
Idea For StabiliZer

BIO De Janeiro (By mail to the
United Press Observation of
the retarded motion of falling
flowers from q vine in his garden
furnished the idea for the "tur-
binc stablizer" for airplane9, now
being tested by the Brazilian min
isuer of marine, according to a
statement by the inventor, Or.
Maxine Correa, in an interview
with the United Press.
Preliminary tests OF the inven-
ton have been crowned with com
pletc success. A seaplane, pilot
ed by naval aviator, glided in
a horizontal position from a
height OF more than 1000 feet,
alighting as gently as a gull.
The stabilizer consists of a
turbine enclosed in a long metal
cylinder attached to the fuselage
of the plane. When the motor is
stopped in flight the pilot opens
diaphragm in the base of the
cylinder, airpressure against the
blades Immediately starting the
turbine which causes powerful
air suction underneath the wings
