Airplane speeds of the future

While the reliability of predictions is poor the author still attempts to gauge the future speeds of airplanes.

Depreciation of aircraft

There is a widespread, and quite erroneous, impression to the effect that aircraft are essentially fragile and deteriorate with great rapidity when in service, so that the depreciation charges to be allowed on commercial or private operation are necessarily high.

The organization of airways

An aircraft freed from all contact with the ground during most of the period of its operation, is nevertheless dependent on the provision of proper ground organization. The provision of landing fields scattered over the country for the benefit of civil or military pilots who may arrive from any direction constitutes the first step in making commercial flying possible.

Selling air transport

The marketing and advertising of air transport is discussed in this article.

Warner, Edward P

Aeronautical museums

Different methods of presenting aeronautical artifacts are examined.

The usefulness of stunting

Stunting is an important part of the training of a military pilot, and the knowledge gained in passing through the "acrobatic course" is put to constant use in service, especially with fighting aircraft.

Lessons of the glider meets

While light loading was assumed to be the optimal conformation from previous meets, subsequent meets have shown that heavier loading produced better results.

Air transport economics

The report presents a determination of air transport costs with and without subsidies.

Report on the general design of commercial aircraft

Given here are evaluations of six different European aircraft from the point of view of a passenger. The aircraft discussed are the DH 34, the Handley-Page W8B, the Farman Goliath, the Potez IX, the Spad 33 (Berline), and the Fokker F.III. The airplanes were evaluated with regard to seating comfort, ventilation, noise, seating arrangements, cabin doors, baggage accommodation, interior arrangement of cabins, pilot's position and communication with the pilot, pilot accommodations, view from the cabin, safety, and lavatory accommodations.

Giant airplanes

It is hardly possible for the most imaginative aeronautical enthusiast to look forward to a time when the airplane will have reached the dimensions commensurate with those already attained by the airship.

Warner, Edward P

Miniature airplanes

The present report will treat only the smallest airplanes equipped with engines. The two types discussed are those airplanes with the smallest dimensions, and those that have the smallest power requirements.

The disposal of military aircraft

The end of the war saw every belligerent with vast stocks of aircraft and aircraft supplies in all stages of usefulness, much of the material being absolutely new. The question of the best method of getting rid of this accumulation is one which has been agitating those responsible for its disposal for more than three years now, but no wholly satisfactory solution has yet been reached.
