of the big aviation companies has
developed and begun manufacture of

without refueling.
to being 400 feet wide and 210 feet
long above 1500 ton plane is 35 feet
high in front, tapering down to a
knife edge at the rear. 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.

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. In addition
