The best guess ought to be based on Lind
bergh's own choice today, the plane he just
bought for himself and MRS. Lindbergh-a
single motored, low-wing Lockheed Sirius.
Note that Indy still sticks to the monoplane.
The monoplane has gained considerably IN
favor over the biplane. due TO it's decreased
frontal area and resulting lower wind resistance.
its greater maneuverability and its improved
internal construction. The monoplane most
assuredly has the choice for this supposed
Atlantic flight.
Every possible feature of Lindy's new plane
Is designed to help increase speed. At the nose
Of the ship and directly over the entire motor
is one Of the most advanced features in svia-
tion-the cowling designed in the laboratories
OF the National Advisory Committee of Aero
nautics, by which the speed of the plane IL
raised by as much as Is miles an hour. It
is so designed that the stream Of air passing
over the motor strikes q minimum of resistance,
yet efficiently cools the motor underneath.
That cowling undoubtedly would be feature
Of Lindy's transatlantic plane as 1t Is Of his
present plane.
I UNDERNEATH that cowling would be
much more efficient motor than the one
he used three years ago, although that was
considered then the very latest in aeronautical
engines.
Lindy's motor of 1927 was Wright whiri-
wind OF the Us type. It was o nine-cylinder
radial air-cooled engine, weighing 500 pounds
and developing 220 horsepower when 1t turned
over 1000 times minute. That means 1t
weighed more than az pounds to the
horsepower. This Is quite an advantage
over an automobile engine of similar power
which weighs IS much as II pounds to the
horsepower. But it Is already q clumsy ma
chime when compared with almost any air
plane motor Of today.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-05-18

Today for instance the latest Wright Whirl-
wind-for easy comparison-weighs IS pounds
less than Lindy's did, and develops 800 horse
power to the old ones 220, and ut the same
speed. That makes It weigh only little over
o pound and q half to the horsepower. pound
per horsepower less than the Us.
The Wasp motor in Lndys present Lock-
heed Sirius Is somewhat larger than the Wright
J-6 which was used for comparison with its
predecessor, the Us. But its weight per horse
power is about the same. The Wasp weighs
600 pounds but it develops 40 horsepower ut
1000 revolutions Q minute.
= with the Wasp motor In its nose. Lindy's
Lockheed has q high speed Of ITS miles an
hour and o cruising speed Of 40 miles an
hour. When the "Lone Eagle" crossed the
Atlantic three years ago. he averaged about lis
miles an hour, with . 10 to IS mile an hour
wind pushing him on from behind.
These larger motors would consume more
gasoline, hour by hour, than the J-5 did. but
the total gasoline consumption on the flight
from New York 10 Paris would be less. since
the higher-powered motors would drive the
ship across the ocean In much less time. In
1927. Indy made the jump in 33k hours.
Today he could make the seas miles In 2S
hours and have enough gasoline left to 60 500

stalled to carry the extra gasoline he would
need for the 3,625-mile flight from New York
to Paris. That, with the regular tanks in
the wings above him, enabled him to carry 452
gallons Of fuel.
Directly above the tank the wings spread
out in naonoplane fashion to width Of 46
feet, 10 feet wider than the Widespread Of the
stock Ryan then manufactured, in order to
afford the greater lift needed for the increased
weight Of fuel.
just behind the tank, hidden by the wings,
sat Indy. his rather meager instrument board
before him and . periscope reaching from his
eye level upward and out above the wing
enabling him to see ahead.
That ship embodied the very latest in aero
nautic design at the time, yet the very next
year Ryan had discarded the model for one
considerably improved in design and structure.
Today the Ryan factory at San Diego turns
out comfortable cabin monoplanes, hardly
recognizable from their famous predecessor Of
three years ago.

this one Of three years ago, every one In avia-

bility that Col. Lindbergh might discard tho
gasoline motor for the latest innovation in
aeronautic engineering-the Packard Diesel.
When this moto- was introduced for the first
time at the Detroit Aircraft Show recently, il
"hogged" the whole show. Everybody was en-
Unused over its possibilities.
The Packard Diesel weighs slightly more than
the J-5 that took Indy across the Atlantic.
yet its horsepower rating Is higher, and con-
sequently its weight per horsepower Is about
. quarter pound less.
Assuming. however. that the Diesel is ahout
equal to Lindbergh's original motor in weight
and power, its advantages arise from its utter
simplicity of construction, the great reduction
In number Of parts, its more positive fuel feed,
its elimination of electrical ignition and con-
sequent reduction of fire hazard, the lack Of
radio interference and the more efficient CON-
sumption Of the fuel carried.
A result with the use Of Diesel moesr,
Indy would be required to carry 20 per
cent less fuel by weight. or 30 per cent less
by volume. than he did originally. The Id
vantages Of this are obvious.
OF considerable Importance to Lindbergh I'm
this second assumed Transatlantic fight would
be his entire freedom from radio interference.
Although the modern gasoline motors can Be
grounded to minimize radio interference ON
the plane the Diesels lack Of electrical ignition

It has guided pilots along the most hazardous

them.
Further 10 assure his safe crossing. Indy
today would carry such instruments with him
as guided former Lieut.. James H. Doolittle,
that intrepid sumter. safely through his hax-
ardous experiments In blind flying.
Perhaps the most valuable Of these instru-
ments was the artificial horizon, gyroscopic

Indy rolled out Of the hangar at Roosevelt
Field near New York, the morning Of Friday,
May 10, In 1927.
In the pointed nose Of the Ryan monoplane
was o nine cylinder radial motor. Back of the
motor was the gas tank that Indy had in
