LARGEST PLANE
IN WORLD BUILT
FOR ENGLAND
Craft Has Wing Spread of
$50 Feet; Weighs Is
Tons When Empty.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK, July 10.-The great
British monoplane, the InfleXible,
completed by the Beardmore COM
pany, has aroused international in
terest in aviation circles since it
became known that such a plane
had been authorized by the air
ministry.
1t is the largest plane in the
world, although the Dornier Com
pany in Germany is at work on a
flying boat that will be larger.
The Inf1exible has a wing spread
of $50 feet and dead weight empty
of fifteen tons. Loaded, it viii
weigh more than twenty tons with
out crew and passengers.
Too Large for Runways
It is so large that until Great
Britain has constructed airdromes
with longer runways than any in
existence it is probable that the new
plane can not be tested for its ca
pacity load. A special hangar also
will have to be built to house it.
The landing wheels stand seven
feet six inches from the ground,
larger than the drivers on the
greatest locomotive.
The fuselage has depth OF
twelve feet, nearly twice that o.
Commander Byrd's America, and
the tail fin rises nearly twelve feet
above the fuselage.
All of Metal
The Inf1exible is an ali-metal
monoplane and the first of its type
finished under direction of The air
ministry. Officials have not made
known the purpose for which it was
built.
Even the names of the engineers
who have worked on it have not
been made public. It is known.
however, that German designers
have been consulted and among
those mentioned in this connection
is DR.. Rohrbach, builder and de-
signer of some of the largest all
metal flying boats in the world.
The new plane is powered with
three Rolls-Royce Condor water
cooled motors, each developing $50
horsepower.
According to the builders, the
plane will fly easily and safely with
cne engine. On its first test, the
Inflexible rose easily after a run Of
less than 1000 feet 1t has COM
paratively slow landing speed and
the wheels are equipped with the
most modern airplane brakes, which
bring it to a full stop in less than
200 feet.
While the use which will be made
of the Infiexible has been kept Sc
cret, Great Britain has been expert
mcnting with plans for long-diS-
tance bonbers capable of carrying
several tons of explosives.
