TO
CARRY OVER 150 TONS
London, Feb. 3. Naval authori
ties announced that the "rigid air
ships" or the super-Zeppelin type
now under construction In Great
Britain will be at least twice as good
as anything Britain now possesses
and "probably superior to ahy other
airships In the world."
Although no details ot these new
airships have been made public the
naval authorities say the German
modern super-Zeppelin have a capa
city of approximately 2,000,000 cu
bic teet of gas, and -possess a range
of action from 4.000 to 8,000 miles
with a maximum full speed of about
75 miles an hour and the ability to
rise to a height of about 20,000 feet.
It is claimed that the rigid air
Bhipa now in use or about to be con
structed could, in settled, weather,
cross the Atlantic and return with
out descending. Jt Is also asserted
that a rigid airship of 10,000,000
cubic feet capacity- could carry a
commercial load ot about 150' tons
over such a distance as the trans-At
lantic pasage. Naval authorities are
quoted here as saying, that the build
ing of these huge airships Is a "prac
ticable proposition."
