Big Aeroplane Circles Fort Meyer
Drill Grounds Almost Sixteen
Times, and Makes) Easy and
Safe Landing.
WASHINGTON. July 17. After many
mishaps, the new Wright aeroplane to
day successfully navigated the air.
Making the best record for a Wright
brothers machine since the accident last
Fall, the aeroplane, guided by Orville
Wright and traveling about 46 miles an
hour at a height of from 85 to 90 feet,
remained In the air 16 minutes, when
the aviator decided to alight, having
encircled the drill grounds at Fort Myer
la times. The descent was made
without difficulty.
At all times the machine was under
perfect control. The conditions for
flight were Ideal. The first attempt to
ny was a failure. Traveling in
straight course, the aeroplane, after ris
ing about 10 feet, suddenly dipped and
touched the ground, but rose again.
Finding that he was close to the aero
plane shed and unable to raise the ma
chine to any considerable height, Orvllla
Wright made an easy landing.
Tho cause of this failure was ascribed
to the fact that the machine had left
the monorail too soon. On the second
attempt the aeroplane gently rose to
height of between 85 and 90 feet. There
was a moment of suspense, but when
the crowd witnessed the first turn a
great cheer went up.
Having regained confidence in him
self and his machine, Orville Wright
settled himself down for a long flight.
After piloting the ship around the drill
grounds of Fort Myer nearly 16 times,
the descent was made without mishap,
Orville said that he had noticed tha
bearings of the motor were becoming
heated and he did not wish to take any
chances In remaining up longer.
