OREGON Plane to Carry 80 Tons of War Material Planned NEW YORK — Planes are steadily growing larger under the compulsion of war Already they transport para chutists. now called skyinfantry One of the big aviation companies has developed and begun manufacture of a large plastic airplane for transport ing freight as well as troops. Another aviation concern has plans for a huge 300 ton plane capable of carrying 80 tons of war material at speeds 25 to ! 30 times the rate of convoys plough- i ng the seven seas to distant theatres I of war. Such a plane could make at least 25 round trips to one of an ocean freighter.

So there is plenty of room in the flying wing above the tunnels for both passengers | and freight—almost a million cubic feet which is about 12 the avail able space in the largest transoceanic liners. Monster Plane Contains No Wings An important feature of this fly- uig wing design is ability of plane to take-off vertically without any preliminary speed-up on a long con crete runway. Also the plane will land vertically without a jar because the rate of descent is controlled by a series of lifting airfoils or “sky-hooks," that are adjustable to lift or drop the plane at any desired speed, or even hold it stationary in the air. In this respect McDevitt’s flying wing will imitate the automobile. Not requiring expensive airfields with long runways it can proceed direct to any manufac- I turing plant, land at loading plat- j form, take on its cargo; then fly direct 1 to final destination and discharge its freight without need of railroad or motor truck for Anal delivery. For | deluxe passenger service flying wing can ply between cities direct, loading and discharging passengers from overhead terminals in central loca tions of each city. Thus vertical ascent and descent of plane by means of sky-hooks will eliminate long jaunt from present airports to travelers' final destination, besides greatly in creasing safety of air travel. this year.

Commercial aviation has grown by leaps and bounds since the last war; particularly in past ten years. What can be expected of it after this war? On April 19th of this year Percy E. Bates, chairman of the Cunard Steamship Co., in a statement pub lished in London, pointed out post- war possibilities of serious compe tition between airlines and trans- oceanic steamships for passengers. One of the foremost aeronautical en gineers engaged in manufacture of wartime planes, Mr. Grover Loening, recently stated that airplanes must replace ocean-going vessels complete ly. not only for passenger traffic but also for heavy freight. He predicted this would happen immediately after the war. Jas E. McDevitt, an aviation engi neer from the World War, has de signed a monster airplane which is all body with no wings; i.e.. it is a flying wing ranging from 500 tons to 3000 tons weight and, if desirable, even larger. It is powered by 60,000 horsepower of high-octane gas mo tors, directly operating the propellers in large wind funnels running full length of the plane. The air is sucked in at high speed through openings at front of flying wing and discharged at end of the tunnels from rear of the plane. Some of the openings at front of flying wing can be seen in above picture.
