BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK, July 3.-Exhaustive
tests completed recently after a six
months period of investigation by
the A. w. Shaw Company, publish
ers OF Washington, D. c., indicate
that the cost of operating a cabin
monoplane with a Wright "Whirl-
wind" motor is an economically
sound business venture.
r. L. Putnam, vice president OF
the company states that the plane
was flown distance of 2I,907 miles
during the tests at a cost of Sis
cents an airplane mile totalling 1913
cents per passenger mile.
These figures include the cost of
depreciation on the plane and en-
CINE, the pilots salary and expenses,
upkeep and servicing, cost of hangar
space, gas, oil and insurance.
The gas and oil consumption of
the Wright "Whirlwind" motor in
these tests compared favorably with
automobile consumption in a large
touring car. The plane averaged
slightly better than ten miles to
gallon Of gasoline, and the average
speed under normal flying condi-
tons was 100 miles an hour.
