TWO AIR WARSH|PS
PLANNED FOR j. S.
Sea Scouting DirigibIes to
Garry Five Planes
Each Inside.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
While the Graf Zeppelin is speeding
its way on the first lap of its trip
around the world, out at Akron, Ohio,
preparations are going on for the
building of two giants of the skies, even
larger than the big German airship.
But unlike the Graf, whose mission
Is one of peace, the ships being built
by the Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation
for the United States Navy are to be
warships of the air. designed princi-
pally for long-distance sea- scouting.
Five airplanes will ride inside each, to
be let out like hornets from nest
when the big ship needs defense. Re-
turning, they will catch onto trapezes
swung from the airship and be hauled
safely inside. Il
The Goodyear Co. has pushed con-
struction of the hangar in which the
two ships are to be built, until it Is
now three-quarters complete. BY Sep
tcmbe", one end will be completed and
by the end of the year the whole struc-
ture should be inclosed.
Girders are now being fabricated,
and as soon as workmen can move into
the hangar the work of assembling the
duraluminum skeletons of the ships will
begin. They are to be completed in
about two years.
Some idea of the size of the new
craft by comparison with the Graf
Zeppelin may be gained by the respec-
tive dimensions. The Zeppelin has
gas volume of 3.708,000 cubic feet. the
new ships 6,500.000. The length of the
German ship is 776 feet over all.
against 785 The maximum diameters
are 1901 feet and 1929 feet. The
height over all. 1106 feet and 1868 feet
The Zeppelin can carry useful load
Of 100000 pounds. against 10000 for
the American vessels, which will have
eight engines developing 4.4S0 horse
power, compared with five. developing
1850 on the German ship. The latters
maximum speed is figured at SO knots,
against almost 70 for the naval air.
ships In cruising range at so knots
they are closer together. AS the Graf
can cover 5000 miles and the new ships
are to do 5000.
The exterior cabins and motors which
have been feature of all airshipS built
up TO the present will be lacking in
the new ships, which will have only the
propellers and controls outside the
smooth. cigar-shaped hulls.
Another addition to the Nays air.
ship fleet, the metal-clad ZMC-2, is to
be ready for tests within two or three
weeks. 1t is $50 feet long, So feet in
diameter. with q content of 100000
cubic feet of helium. In place of rud-
ders and elevators it is to be equipped
with lateral fins. With crew of four,
its builders hope this metal dirigible
craft will develop a speed Of So miles
an hour.
