and altered until the measurements
showed that it was allowing the engine
to cool properly under the most arduous
conditions Of flight The effects OF
each coWling on the drag of the plane
and the propulsive efficiency of the
propeller also we're measured at the
different stages of alteration.
While these experiments we're in
progress, it was discovered that the air
resistance of the fuselage itself could
be reduced by making it more nearly
round than the conventional form, and
when the net results were put together
it was demonstrated that the design
finally adopted reduced the drag &c
times as much as the most effective
form ever before used.
A CurtiSs Army pursuit training
plane equipped with the same type of
Wright Whirlwind engine used in the
experiments and with its fuselage
rounded and the new cowling installed
was used for the actual fight tests.
The maximum speed Of this plane,
it was found. was raised from ll8 to
1877 miles an hour with the engine turn
ing over at 1900 revolutions minute.
which without the cowling would have
required an additional 63 horsepower
to accomplish. 1t was also disclosed
that the l18-mile speed could be at
tanned at only 1920 revolutions a
minute instead of 1900. which was
estimated to represent saving Of three
gallons of gasoline for each hour Of
flight at that engine speed.

INTEREST GROWS
IN AERONAUT|CS
Engineers Society Holds
Three Meetings in Fall
and Winter.

So great has been the increase in in
terest in aviation, in aeronautical devel-
Opments and in airplane manufacture
during the last year that the Society OF
Automotive Engineers has felt the
necessity of holding three national aero
nautic meetings this Fall and during
The coming Winter. The first was a
two-day meeting in Los Angeles in Sep
tenber. the second is a tWo-day meeting
to be held in Chicago on December 5
and 6 in cooperation with the Aero
nautical Chamber of Commerce of the
United States during the week of the
International Aircraft Exposition, and
the third is one-day meeting devoted
to aircraft opera ton. to be held in New
York City next January
The Chicago meeting in December is
TO be divided into five technical sessions.
the first devoted to aircraft power plants.
the second to commercial operation, the
third to design and construction. and
the last two to aeronautical standard
ization.
One of the addresses at the aerOnautic
meeting in Chicago to which a great
deal of interest is attached is to be
sl'eH DF II. NJ. WOOiSOn OI tnS Ffck3Tu
Motor Car Co. who will deal with the
latest development in Diesel engines for
aircraft. Because fog is the greatest
hazard in flying. the address by Lieut.
A. F. Hegenber2er of the United States
Air Service on Fog Flying Possibilities"
is expected to attract much attention
Another paper of timely interest be-
cause of the recent transatlantic fii{ilt
of the Graf Zeppelin will be Dr. Karl
Arnstein's paper on Developments in
Lighter-than-Ai Craft" Dr. Arnstein is
connected with the Goodyear-Zeppelin
Corporation. which has been awarded
the Navy contract for the construction
of two Zeppelins that are to be much
larger than the Graf Zeppelin.

WEST COAST LEADING
COMMERCIAL AVIATION

.rcthie leadership which has been taken
by the West Coast in the field of COM
mercial aviation is reflected in the re-
ports of three of the big Pacific air mail
and transport lines, received here this
week.
On September Boeing Air Trans
port. carrying air mail and passengers
between San Francisco and Chicago,
had flown total of 1,203,98S miles,
carrying 774,607 pounds of mail, 24,623
pounds of express matter and 1,485
passengers. This line now handles rs
per cent of the total air mail valume Of
the Nation.
Pacific Air Transport, carrying mail,
express and passengers between Seattle
and Los Angeles, on September l had
flown a total of 48o4 446 miles, carried
70.625 pounds of air mail, $3.50 pounds
of express and 905 revenue passengers.
About one ton of mail is now handled
by these two lines daily, exclusive of
that carried by Western Air Express on
the Los Angeles-Salt Lake line and the
Varney line, which serves Salt Lake,

ENGINE C0WL|NG
DESIGN DIFFICULT
Intricate Problems Involved
in Development of
Device.

LANGLEY FIELD. Va. LP).-The new
cowling for radial air-cooled engines de-
vised here In the Langley Memorial
Laboratory of the National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics, gives little
indication, In its simplicity. of the in
tricate problems its development in
volved.
The new cowling provides. for the
first time. an efficient means for cover
ing the air-cooled engine in such a
manner that, while 1t is provided with
sufficient air to keep 1t from overheat-
ing, the resistance 1t offers to the wind
in flight is radically reduced. The ef-
feet is to increase the speed of plane
greatly without additional power, and
to improve its flying qualities in smooth
ness Of operation.
Combination Device.
The device Is a combination of two
forms of cowling worked out during the
investigation. Inside, little less than
half of each cylinder and the crank
case are covered, leaving the tops of
the cylinders jutting out. These are
then covered with a sheet of metal
shaped like halved eggshell and hav-
ing hole at the front to provide space
for the propeller shaft and the admis-
sion of air The air taken in through
that hole is DETECTED between the CYL
inders to reduce turbulence, and at the
same time cool them. and is directed so
that it flows out at the rear of the
cowling in smooth layer around the
fuselage.
To attain this result number of
experiments and exact measurements
were necessary. which had never been
possible until the laboratory's 20-foot
wind tunnel was completed early this
year.
With full size, single-engined cabin
fuselage set up in this tunnel. facing a
stream of air moving toward it at a
velocity of 1l0 miles an hour. just as
if it were in flight, various degrees of
cowling for the engine were installed
and studied. ranging from entirely ex-
posed to completely covered cylinders.
Measured at 50 Points.
Temperature measurements were
made at SO different points on the
engine during the experiments and
then each test cowling was cut away
