AERIAL EXPEDITIONS
TO MAP AFRICAN REGION
British, Using Two Planes, HOPE
to Complete Work in Year
and a Half.

Much light viii be shed on the DARK
est portion Of Darkest Africa" by what
Is claimed to be the largest aerial sur
vey ever undertaken. This survey. to
begin In the near future, according to
o report received by the Department of
Commerce from Assistant Trade COM
missioner Du Wayne G. Clark, at Jo-
hannesburg, South Africa. will cover
nearly 100000 square miles of unmap-
ped territory in Rhodesia and Sudan.
The region will be surveyed and map
ped from the air by two English expe-
ditions. 1t is estimated that $4,000
aerial photographs will be taken for a
Photographic map, to be completed on
scale of 4 miles to an inch. The
survey, which ordinarily would require
about Is years, will be completed in 10
months
The Rhodesian survey party will use
specially designed Gloster airplane.
and Will cover an area thought to be
very rich copper district. The Sudan
party Will use Fairey-Napier plane,
and Its survey will include some 20 900
square miles Of the Anglo Egyptian
Sudan for the irrigation department Of
the Egyptian Government.

AIRLINES PROPOSE
TRANSFER PROGRAM
Through Service Units, Covering
Over $4,000 Miles, Plan Exchange
System for Passengers.

Exchange Of through passenger air
trafic between the more than 40 United
States air passenger lines now operat-
ing over q 30,000-mile network In this
country Is being arranged by the Amer
can Air Transport Association, which
represents 80 per cent Of the air trans
port companies in this country, It has
been announced here.
Adoption of the plan by the opera
tors, 1t was pointed out, will place the
air transport industry on trafhc par
with the railroads and bus lines by
permitting the booking Of passengers
through to destination regardless of the
number of individually owned and
operated airlines over which he must
fly.
Each line, It was announced, will
honor standard through tickets recon-
mended by the association. which are
good when properly filled out, over
every line in the country agreeing to
the plan. Under the plan each air
line will sell air transportation to any
and all points touched by passenger
carrying planes of any line.
"A decided increase In the number
OF air travellers is bound to follow"
the association stated, "inaSmuch as
once the idea is adopted the personnel
OF each operator becomes the agents
for every other line creating, automa-
tically, a traffic sales force Of national
proportions. The operation status of
air transport likewise changes from a
series Of local operations to one of
Nationwide scope"

SPINLESS PLANE BUILT
IN GERMAN FACTORY
Spins Prevented by Shape Of
Wings, Which Taper Sharply
in Thickness and Chord.

Development of German airplane
which is said to be impossible to spin
has been announced by the Focke- Wulf
Co. of Bremen, according to a report re-
ceived by the Department of Commerce
from Berlin. Spins are prevented, ac-
cording to the report, by the shape of
the wing, which tapers sharply in both
thickness and chord.
The German aeronautical testing in
stitute made three tests to find If the
plane could be forced into spin, these
tests being made with the center of
gravity as far forward as possible, in
the normal position and as far back as
possible. Efforts to spin the plane
failed.
1.-THE fact that the reaction of the
plane, which remained exceptionally
stable, in an overdrawn condition, in
dependent from the center of gravity,
seemed to indicate the testers claim
that the stability of the plane was due
to the shape of the wing" 1t Is stated
in the report.

TESTS BEING MADE
TO SILENCE PLANES
Practical Results Have Been
Obtained in Sound-Proof
Experiments.

Tests In the sound proofng of airplane
cabins, which have been in progress for
more than two years, and which have
been virtually completed in one major
phase, point to the possibility of reduc-
ing the noises in passenger plane cabins
to the level of those in railway paSsen-
ger cars or even lower, it is reported by
the aeronanutlcs branch of the Depart
ment of Commerce.
The tests were undertaken at the Bu-
reau OF Standards because of recog-
milton of the fact that comfort and con-
venlence of passengers, to which the re-
auction Of noise will contribute heavily,
Will contribute to the advancement of
aeronautics.
Get Practical Results.
The experiments have been divided
INTO two major parts, one dealing with
reduction of the noises at their source,
the propeller and engine exhausts, and
the other with reduction of the noises
That find their way into the cabin. There
Is much to be done In the first line of
experiments, but in the second practi-
cal results have been obtained.
The sound engineers have found sew
eral combinations of materials possess
ing the three prime characteristics for
airplane cabin insulation-tl1e quality
of shutting out sound, the quality Of
absorbing sound and lack of weight.

it was reported, "but the weight of the
cabin walls would be prohibitive."
Tests were conducted In three differ
ent airplanes with different types of
sound absorbing and deadening Innings.
In addition, Is types of panels COM
posed of various metal, wood and COM
position sheets alone and in combina-
ton with fabrics and sound absorbing
materials were tested.

In addition to testing oxygen appa-
ratus and recording instruments, the

RECORD In AIR SERVICE
Frequent Passenger Trips Made
Between Detroit and Cleveland.

Air passenger service between Detroit
and Cleveland Is more frequent than
between any two points in the United
States and possibly in the world, ac-
cording to survey by the American
Air Transport Association. Planes of
two lines make total of 10 round
trips daily between the two cities. Ca
pacity loads are the rule.
Between San Francisco and Los An
geles nine round trips are flown daily
by four different passenger air lines
The number of passengers flying on
regularly scheduled lines Is increasing
so steadily that the association predicts
that this year will find the patronage
of 1929 more than doubled and possibly
trebled.
