The prevention of fire in the air
On an airplane, the safeguards adopted may be divided into three classes, those intended to prevent a fire from getting started, those intended to put it out if it does get under way, and, finally, those designed to limit the damage which a fire can do.
ACCIDENTS AND FIRE PREVENTION↗
Commercial aircraft in war
The difference between aircraft for commercial and wartime uses is delineated, but the interchangability between the two is also discussed. Airships in both roles is also presented.
AIRPLANES - DESIGN↗
Potentialities of the parachute
The development of the parachute is presented as well as the future possibilities.
PARACHUTES↗
Police regulation of aircraft
Different aspects of aircraft regulation are discussed such as: protecting the public; the restriction of flights over crowds; regulations of wing-walkers.

European air travel in 1922
This article discusses the different passenger air transport services offered in Europe. The author deals mainly with the service offered between different cities, in terms of time and cost.
Warner, Edward P↗
The future of the airship
The author discusses the safety record of airships in light of the accidents with the Roma and the ZR2.
AIRSHIPS↗
This summer's gliding meets
This article discusses the upcoming gliding meets in France and Germany in the summer of 1922. Restrictions of design, prize money, and new innovations are all discussed.
Warner, Edward P↗
Comfort in flight
Some advances in passenger comfort are discussed, namely, ventilated cabins, heating, seating arrangements, and doors.
Warner, Edward P↗
The prospects of the helicopter
The advantages of helicopters are listed along with a discussion of safety devices, the problems of control, and the need for horizontal flight.
HELICOPTERS↗
Stability of airplanes
The author attempts to correct the misconception that piloting an airplane requires extraordinary skill and balance. He also tries to show that airplanes are extremely stable in flight. Some of the major points covered in this article include: automatic pilots, airplanes designed to be stable, and the reliance on mathematics to help in designing stable aircraft.
STABILITY↗
Technical problems of commercial flying
The technical requirements for commercial aircraft are listed, which include: safety, economy and comfort. The author lists various methods to increase these requirements in commercial aircraft.
Warner, Edward P↗
The choice of air routes
The author lists rules for the development and planning of air routes. He uses as examples India and Texas, as well as discussing the need for more landing fields.
Warner, Edward P↗
Night flying
Dr. Warner examines the utility and economy of flying at night when flying passengers. Some of the points discussed include lighted landing fields, the possibility of using airships, and the cost of landing fields.
Warner, Edward P↗
Mechanical aids to flight
This report examines the great utility and safety of using instruments when flying. Instruments can be especially useful in conditions when the pilot has trouble spatially orienting himself.

Subsidies for air transport
This article discusses the need for government subsidies to encourage the development of passenger and freight transport by air.

The Choice of Wing Sections for Airplanes
The subject of the choice of an airfoil section is by no means a closed one, and despite the impossibility of making a single rule serve, it is quite practicable to deduce in a strictly rational manner a series of rules and formulas which are capable of being of the greatest use if we but confine ourselves to the consideration of one element of performance at a time. There are seven such elements of performance which are here taken up in turn. The seven are of different relative importance in different types of airplanes. The seven elements are: maximum speed regardless of minimum; maximum speed for given minimum; maximum speed range ratio; maximum rate of climb; maximum absolute ceiling; maximum distance non-stop; and maximum duration non-stop.
