PLANE BUILDERS
STRESS BEAUTY
( IN 1880 TYPES
Designers Center Attention
I on Comfort, Interiors
at Air Show.
- Aviation

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 21-This year.
more than ever before, airplane de-
signers have conferred their attention
on comfort and beauty. This is ap-
parent from a look at the eighty
seven airplanes on display here at
the international aircraft expoSi-
ton. Although there have been a
number Of engineering develop
ments, of course. they are over
Swallowed by the noticeable police
ing up" Of the ships.
The new four-place Ryan, which
had a great mystery unveiling the
opening night Of the show, is good
example.
II has soft cloth upholstery. The
pilots seats are adjustable. The back
of the right hand seat folds down,
making a fun length sofa along that
side of the ship. The plane is paint
ed and nickeled and shined. Others
are the same way.
There IS a reason for all Of this
The time is at hand when people
outside Of the "air game" will buy
airplanes. Many Of the future
buyers are people who buy more on
looks than on mechanical perfor-
nance, because they are not avia-
tors and they don't understand
aerOnautical engineering.
There seems to be a trend toward
small flying boats and amphibions,
the type appealing to the rich man
who lives along lakes or rivers.
These, too, are finished in the most
luxurious fashion.
The large transports, destined to
run on the airlines. also are very
much dolled up for their prospective
passengers. The interiors of the
huge Condor, Patrician, Fokker and
Ford are done in dainty cloths and
bright colOrS. The Patrician has a
kitchenette and electric stove.
Even the open cockpit planes are
finished up to look pleasing on the
outside, although little can be done
in TIE cockpit to make them COM
pare with the smoother cabin ships.
