Official of Radio Firm Gets Der
liner Craft for His
Company

Russell L. Meredith of this city. for
merry captain in the Army Air Corps
and a pursuit pilot Of note. and now
chief of the aviation section Of the
Radio Frequency Laboratories at Boon
ton. NJ J., took a "fy-away" delivery
Wednesday on a new Berliner mono
plane which was built by the Beriiner
Aircraft Factory at Alexandria 70 the
order of the New Jersey concern.
The new monopiane. powered with a
Wright "Whirlwind" 200 horsepower
engine. is equipped for night flying,
having two large headlights on the
under side of the wing at the wing
tips. In addition there are the usual
red, white and green navigating lights.
Numerous "gadgets" have been placed
on the ship making attachment Of ra-
dio and electrical equipment possible at
will.
The plane is a three passenger semi
cabin type. The front cockpit is large
enough for two persons and baggage
and is protected by windshield cx-
tending from the fuselage up to the
leading edge of the wing This gives
complete protection from the wind and
rain and also makes 1t unnecessary for
the pilots cockpit Immediately behind
TO be protected by windshield The
plane is equipped with wheel brakes
and pioneer earth inductor compass.
A special and original streamiining
of the radial engine leaves but a small
section of the cylinders exposed and
gives effective cooling The plane was
set up at the Hybia Valley aviation
field, flown To Boiling Field and from
there to Boonton.

Aviation Simpli6ed
HoW SloU and Hon Fast Can an
AfrplGre Fiu7

The airplane has a range Of speed
from about IS miles an hour to 315
miles an hour. but the performance fig-
ures of many many types are merged
into one in order to arrive at the an
swer to this question. How slow and
how fast can an sirplane fiy?"
An accurate answer down to fractions
of miles per hour. according to aero
nautical experts in Washington, is i'm
possible, because each plane has its own
peculiar performance. The question as
to the greatest straightaway speed ever
made by an airplane is "A matter OF rec
ord-is world record, in fact-biIt that
affects only one aiFplane. Other ar
planes designed for duties aside from
racing and high speed experiments
naturally have speeds according to the
nature of the work they perform.
While the answer to the question nj
what is the greatest speed an airplane
has ever made is a matter OF public
record. the same question as TO the
slowest an airplane has ever flown or
can fly Is extremely difficult, II not al
together impossible to answer correctly,
owing to the many factors that enter
into such slow speed. Planes are not
built to fly slowly as the first thought
the aim is to get more speed. but II
the slow flying can be kept down. so
that a low landing speed Is possible,
that airplane is just 50 much better
Planes with a very slow flying speed
around 35 miles an hour-do not and
at this particular stage of aeronauti-
cal development cannot fly 31S miles
an hour or as a general rule even $50
miles an hour
The slow speed of an airplane depends
on the ability of the pilot, the condi-
ton of the wind, the engine, the con-
struction of the wings and the weight
of the airplane. Planes encountering
very high winds in flight have been
known to stand perfectly still in the
air and some even have flown as much
as 20 miles an hour backward.
On the list of 90 commercial airplanes
being manufactured in this country
there are 81 with landing speeds of
between 30 and IS miles an hour. which
means that in still air when. gliding into
field for the completion of flight and
when the wheels hit the ground the
plane is travelling at about that speed
However. the minimum flying speed
| a speed at which the plane can travel
through the air in normal attitude with
out the pilot having to battle with the
controls to prevent stall-may be 5 or
10 miles an hour faster.
On the same list of commercial air
| planes there are 20 with a high speed
ranging from 100 to $50 miles an hour
and one at l67 miles per hour. The
others. broadly speaking. come within
! the 100 To 100 miles an hour category.

The function Of the attack plane in
operating against the enemy is to fly at
very low altitudes--iust above the tree
tops-dealing out rain of machine
gun fire and bombs against troops and
transport trains on the ground with the
object of cutting off lines of commune
cation. Holding close TO the earth they
have surprise advantage in that they
appear over crests of low hills without
being detected in advance and flying
at full speed, pump steel into the troops
with the six machine guns, interspers-
ing the rain OF fire with the fragmenta-
ton bombs
The attack plane also operates jointly
with bomhardment, going in first over

Trllbee Dawson, Assistant Secretary Of
War for Aviation. to be competed for
annually by the Third Attack Group
on the occasion of Gen. Patrick's retire
ment last December.
According TO a letter received by the
California Air Race Association from
Lieut.. A. P. Flagg of the Bureau of
AeronauticS, 1T is practically assured
that the Los Angeles will make a
fight to the West Coast during the
time of the air races. In addition to
the big rigid airship. one or more air
craft carriers will anchor in the vicinity
of the race meet. from which naval air
craft will operate. Naval planes aisu
win participate in the three contests
for military planes.
Mr. Dawson advised the race cont
mittee that II planes Of the First Pur-

/ gearing. the pilots windshield and
other projections about the plane.
So sincere is the aeronautical
industry everywhere in its efforts
to eliminate noise that the teSti-
mony of one universally known
builder Of twin-engined cabin pas
Senger planes is pointed to with
/ the view Of emphasizing the ne
/ ceSSity for improvement. This
builder has made many trips be-
tween London and Paris. some of
which have been in his own
planes. and he has experimental
/ with the effect Of sound on the
passenger by sitting in various
parts of the cabin.
In twin-engined airplane,
when seated between the two pro-
pellerS. he experienced a difference
in beat between the two engines,
which reSonated. causing a drum
ming sound. producing a head
ache, which persisted for a long
time When seated farther back
in the cabin, where there were no
eXhauStS from the engine, he in
varlably found that the noise per-
sisted most in the ear on the side
nearest TO the engine. When sit
ting on the right-hand side of the
cabin the noise would persist the
longest in the right ear aad would
probably persist even to the next
day
The only time he really enioyed
flying on the route to Paris was
when on a Summer evening the
pilot would throttle down and fly
at 50 feet above a part of the
French coast, where there was a
long stretch of sand.
Muf1ing the engines would APP
pear TO be the first step toward
reducing noise, but muffing has
two prime disadvantages: First. it
reduces the precious horsepower
in the engine, and. second, it
usually requires a long pipe run
ming alongside the fuselage to the
rear. This pipe is hot when the
plane Is flying, and in the event
OF a forced landing or crack up"
the hot pipe is fire torch to iq-
mite the airplane. Extensive tests
have been made in this country
with the result that on service
planes the collective exhaust
stack running along the engine
and back toward the pilots cock
pit has been eliminated. In it's
place, stacks. short enough TO get
away with" have been installed
on each cylinder, thereby remov-
ing what has been held to be the
greatest source OF fire in a crash.
Much thought has been given to
the construction of the cabin
with the view TO eliminating sound
conductors and vibration conduc-
tors, as we'll as treating the cabin
with sound absorbent materials
and introducing a ventilatine sys-
tenn which does not give sound
free access to the interior. While
admitting that the amenities of
air travel may be greatly improv-
ed by the application of the va
rious plans now afoot. one close
student of the question is author.
ity for this statement:
Unless some completely new
method be used for generating
power. and Of moving the airplane
through the air without the aid of
pEopeIleEs, the passengers cannot
be provided with journeys free
from certain amount of noise
So complex is the source, so va
rious are the methods whereby its
disturbance reaches the passen-
ger, that no single drastic and
perfectly adequate specific rem
edy can be suggested to cure the
evil"
