SPEEDY TRAVEL IN VIEW
FOR U. S. BUSINESS MEN
Atrial Corporation Schedules
Trips Across Continent With
Loss of Only One Day.

American business men, to whom
speed Of travel may be paramount
factor, will be able to go from New
York to the Pacific Coast with the loss
of only one business day en- route on
the new airplane and railroad combi-
nation to be operated by the Trans
continental Air Transport, Inc, accord
ing to preliminary flying schedules COM
pleted few days ago.
Leaving New York in the evening by
railroad, the traveller will awaken in
Columbus, Ohio, the next morning and
take a day plane to terminal in Kan
sas, where he will board an air pull
man with sleeping accommodations and
awaken the next morning on the Pa
cific Coast. The route and schedule
announced by c. M. Reyes, president
of the company, was selected upon the
advice of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
chairman of the technical committee.
The system will provide 48-hour air
rail service from coast to coast and "a
to 80 hour service from points in Ohio
to the Pacific Coast. Supplementary
service is to be provided for passengers
travelling between intermediate points
along the route.

MIAMI-NASSAU AIR LINE
NOW is REGULAR ROUTE
Trips Being Made Twice Weekly
by Amphibian Plane-Time
Cut to Two Hours,

The first air passenger service be-
tween Miami and Nassau, the resort
center of the Bahama Islands, 2l0 miles
from the Florida coast, has just been
opened by the Pan-American Always,
Inc, as its second line between the
United States and British dominionS.
Regular service schedules are to go into
effect when the Winter tourist season
opens.
Service now is being maintained twice
a week in each direction the flying time
being two hours as compared with
nearly Is hours by steamer. Under the
temporary schedule, the air liners take
off from the Miami airport at $50 am,
arriving at Nassau at II 80, and leaving
Nassau on the return trip at $3.50 pm.
The route Is being flown by new
two-motored amphibian plane, the larg-
est of this type yet produced, which has
been developed jointly by Sikorsky and
American engineers. 1t has &C
commodations for eight passengers and
mail. Two Wasp motors of 410 horse
power each give a speed of 125 miles
per hour.
Pan-American Always has maintain
ed an international air mail and pas
Senger service daily between the United
States and Cuba for the past year. Mail
and passenger service to the West In
dies via Cuba three times a week and
daily service between Miami and the

operation in the near future under con-
tracts awarded by the Post once De-

NAVAL PATROL PLANE
TESTS HERE THIS WEEK
New PN-12 Type Is Virtually Self
Sustaining and Adapted to
Needs of Fleet.

The Nays newest and latest en-
cheering project in the way of huge
patrol planes-aircraft that are virtually
self-sustaining and can fly long dis
tances without the aid of tenders or car
riers-will come to Washington this
week for service flight testing by the
test pilots at the Naval Air Station
AnacoStia.
The new ship embodies many refine
ments and Improvements over the
PN-12's, which many weeks ago es-
tablished a series of records for dura-
ton, distance closed course, speed, al
titude, with and without tremendous
loads. The plane bears the designation
Phil, and although apparently of
earlier design than the PN-12 as the
number would indicate, it was not laid
down until the "twelves' we're flying
The schedule calls for the arrival OF
the plane here tomorrow or within
the next few days thereafter. The plane
will be flown for data to determine
its adaptability to the needs of aviation
with the fleet. 1t is motored with two
500-horsepower air-cooled engines and
its hull follows a design somewhat
similar in principle to that employed
in the transatlantic airplane NC-4.
The plane will be flown here from
the Naval Aircraft Factory at Phila-
delph1a, where 1t was built.

much as to increased power. There nre
commercial planes In the country now
which with 400 horsepower motor
will do more than $50 miles an hour
easily. That was the speed OF racing
planes not so long ago. and racing has
been largely responsible for this rapid
development
Military Planes Fast.
In military planes speed Is increas-
ing even faster There arc racing
planes now which fly faster than 800
miles an hour, and 1t Is entirely prob
able that military planes with fighting
equipment will be that fast In few
years. Nobody knows the limit Of air
plane speed. because nobody can forcsee
just what method of propulsion may be
adopted in the future. 1t is not at all
unlikely that some day the propeller
will be replaced by a new form OF pro-
pulsive apparatus. There is no reason
why commercial planes should not fly
at any possible speed, so far as the
passengers are concerned. Wood and
fabric would have to give way to metal,
but in straight flight there should be
no discomfort at any speed.
There Is limit, of course, to fighting
speed III a plane Is 10 De Unanswered
quickly. In fighting a pilot can stand
only certain rate of change in direc-
ton. such as coming out of dive or
steep bank. before he goes Temporal
rily blind from the centrifugal force
But military planes are now Of many
types, and there will probably be very
fast type of ship which can be used to
dive at an opponent at 800 or 400 miles
an hour, but which must be pulled out
Of the dive carefully.
But with all the spectacular achieve
ments which will come with the next
few years, I am inclined to feel that
the least exciting accomplishment will
be the most important, and that is the
fool-proof plane. Designers all over the
world at present are focusing their
efforts on this problem, so that the
amateur pilots may take plane up
and bring 1t down safely in ordinary
weather.
Automatic Control.
This question of automatic control
was not so important until aviation be-
came so popular that thousands of per-
sons wanted to learn to fly. Most acct
dents are due not to failure of the
plane or motor but to an error In judg-
ment on the part of the pilot. Low

COMM ERCIAL FLYING

Number 102.

The rapid growth of commercial avia-
ton in the United States is indicated
by the fact that on the twenty-fifth
anniversary of heavier-than-air flight.
December II, there will be in daily
operation in this country many more
miles of regular air transport routes
than there we're miles of railroad on
the twenty-fifth anniversary of that
form of transportation.
The growth of regularly established
commercial service over the regular air
ways Of the country has been especially
great during the past year. In 1918.

there were 2l8 miles and 2 estab-
lished stations of commercially operated
airway. Two years later this had in
creased to 1927 miles, with 20 stations.
BY 1926 commercial aviation service
was In regular operation over routes
1928 miles in length, with Sc stations
being served. There was decrease the
following year, when the mileage
dropped to 1928 and the number of
stations to 81. but this has been more
than offset during the past year. the
regularly flown mileage now totaline

ing increased to 102.

motor, or even a tri-motored machine
which requires two of its engines to
maintain altitude.
The other cause of forced landings
and one which so far has not been
overcome, Is the weather. Fog and ice
are the great enemies of pilots, and
any one who runs into a thick fog
with no way to get down through il
is apt to crack up. Recently / flew
around for two and a half hours in
California looking for a hole in the
fog. Fortunately l had plenty Of fuel.
Weather Service Important.
There are two ways of avoiding
forced landings due to the weather
One Is an improved meteorological
service which will give warning to the
aviator of storm or fog on his path
and the other Is to devise instruments
which will enable a pilot to find his
way through fog TO landing place
whether he can see the ground or not
This will be done, but in the mean
time a better weather service is vitality
important, and it is being improved as
rapidly as possible. Some day it will
be possible to fly through any kind of
weather, guided by improved instru-
ments of navigation. so that this danger
will be much less than it is today.
The structural safety of airplanes is
almost accomplished Most of the
planes today are strongly built, and
with new discoveries in metallurgy equal
strength Is being obtained with a lighter
framework. A new metal with which
experiments are being made is lighter
and several times as strong as duralu-
min, which Is now used a great deal in
airplanes. A method for coating dura-
lumin. of which all-metal airplanes are
built, has been found lately which has
curious properties. II the metal is
deeply scratched, an electrolytic process
Is set up which Receivers the wound
with aluminium, thus preventing a
weakening of the internal structure due
TO corrosion. These things give some
idea of the ingenuity with which metal
lurgists are approaching the problems
of aviation and indicate what unusual
and even fantastic things may be ex-
pected in the future.

with the result that planes embodying
many rev ideas will be entered In the
competition. This Is the first time that
safety has been made matter of pri-
mary Importance In any aviation con-
test, and although IL Is less spectacular
than racing, which has done much TO
develop the airplane, at the same time

when more and more people with no
special qualifications for flying are buy
ing airplancs. They should be en-
couraged, but also given planes in
which it will be hard to kill them

Forced landings are another cause of
danger in aviation, and something
which must be eliminated as much as
possible In the future The chief cause
of forced landings, of course, is engine
failure, and this is slowly being elimi-
mated to the irreducible minimum.
Motors have been so improved that the
danger of good motor quitting so
long as 1t has proper care, Is already
an uncommon occurrence. The motor
in the Spirit of st. Louis flew for 400
hours without single forced landing.
And as the number of motors In reserve
on multi-motored plane is multiplied,
the danger of forced landing is cor
respondingly reduced, for multi-motor-
ed planes are made which will stay in
the air and even climb on only one
motor.

Another outstanding problem
which faced the lighter-than-air
engineer-that of compenSating
for loss of weight and shifting of
the center Of gravity of the ship
due to consumption of fuel by the
motors is being met successfully.
The United States Navy uses on
the Los Angeles highly efficient
form of condenser which takes
water from the atmosphere to
compensate for the gasoline
burned by the motors. This
obviateS the necessity of valving
away costly helium gas and re-
suits not only in greater economy
OF operation but also constitutes in
itself another step toward the ulti-
mate goal of absolute safety and
reliability toward which aircraft
designers are struggling.
The Graf Zeppelin, according to
reports from German before. her
departure, is using as fuel a
mysterious blue" gas of approx
mately the same weight as air,
the burning of which affects
neither the weight nor balance of
the ship. According to experts in
this country, however, the gas is
no mystery and the term "blue"
is merely corruption of the name
Blau, by which the gas was orig
inally known. The same gas in
less pure form, it is claimed, has
been used to light railroad cars
for a number of years and has
been referred to as PintSch gas.

Terminating in type SO much that, ex-
cept for the fact that they are all based
on the same principles, there Is little

The sizes Of planes vary from tiny
things which can almost be picked up
with one hand-which can. in fact, be
pushed around easily by one man-to
huge affairs weighing tons and with
wings which span more than 100 feet.
Some have tiny little two-cylinder
motors generating only a few horse
power. the fuel for which is carried in
a tank no larger than that of a motor
cycle, and others have powerful engines
generating 1000 horsepower or more
Planes are actually being built which
will have engines giving total of 1000
or 800 horsepower and passenger planes
in this country have as much as 1900
horsepower.
Air Transport Growing.
Air transport is growing so rapidly
that designers foreSee the day when
large passenger planes will be like liners
operated by skillful crew of pilots,
navigator, radio operator and probably
a captain-pilot in charge. There will
be large cargo ships carrying freight,
and from these big craft there will be
all types down to the little sport planes

safely and made SO fool-proof that 1t
