German Scientist Offers
Novel Invention to US.
Navy Heads.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. Co.
Plans for revolutionizing the power
plants Of aircraft, and thus enormous
ly increasing their size and radius
Of action, have been laid before the
Navy Department by DR.. Rudolf Wag-
ner, German engineer and inventor,
formerly connected with the Zeppelin
enterprises.
Proposing to substitute high pres
sure steam turbine plants for what
he describes as the present unreliable
internal combustion motor, DR.. Wag-
ner maintains he will be able to drive
a giant seaplane Of 5000 horsepower
across the Atlantic in about eighteen
hours, two hours less than the fast
est train between New York and Chi
cago.
This same seaplane, according to DIR.
Wagner, will carry so passengers on
each voyage at speed Of 16O miles
per hour.
Also using the giant steam turbine,
according to DIR. Wagner's calcula-
lions, a monster dirigible of 10000
cubic feet and 5000 horsepower will
be able to carry so passengers and
ten tons of freight acros sthe Atlantic
in two days.
Not only has DIR. Wagner laid his
proposals before experts Of the Navy
Department, but he also has submitted
them to Henry Ford and other Ameri-
can industrialists interested in the pos
sibilities of commercial aviation.
The German engineer sees astound-
ing possibilities in the development of
aircraft by the elimination of the in
ternal combustion motor and the sub
stitution of the turbine power plant.
