"There is not chance, how
ever, that this will Seep down

Scientists Study Wing Type
of Aviation in
France.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
PARIS, July DIR. Magnan Of
the College de France, and DR..
Sainte -Lague of the Conservatory
of Crafts and Trades, have under
taken to establish some direct rela-
ton between the flying birds and
winged insects and the possibilities
of their imitation by man.
The work of these two scientific
research men has revealed that
there may yet be more truth than
fiction in the legend OF Icarus, son
of Daedalus, who, after attaching
wings to himself, which his father
made him to fly across the Aegean
sea, flew too close to the sun.
Made First Flight
The wax with which the wings
were fastened on, melted of, and he
went down in history as the first
unsuccessful trans oceanic fller,
while his father landed safely on
the other side and went on about
his business.
A modern study of the flying
power of birds and bugs has con-
WINGED these two scientists that
the day will yet dawn when man
will be able to fly on wings Of his
own manufacture and by his own
arm-power.
According to their calculations,
wings could be constructed for the
flight of a human being which
would make his fight possible if
the proper distribution of weight
and improvement could be obtained.
Their findings include the fact
that a sort of lunging motion
which alternately drops and lifts
their bodies between the wings,
supplies the proper action for
fight in birds, combined with adj
justed wing movements.
Data Is Studied
The scientists theorize that a
man weighing 100 Kilograms, in
GLIDING the weight of the wings,
and Tapping thirteen to twenty
times ever second would be able to
maintain himself in mid-air with
power of one-eighth horsepower.
The complete report of the two
Frenchmen, as outlined above, has
just been presented to the French
Academy of Sciences, and is being
studied by other scientists of that
body of savants with the view to
adopting and perfecting any prac-
tical features the proposed new
type Of aviation may contain.
