NEW-TYPE LAND
PLANES TO SPAN SEA
Whether multi-motored land
planes are suitable for ocean air
transport will receive intensive
experimental study by Pan Am
erican Airways which is plan
ning to make special flights be
tween New York and London,
with a new-type four engined
“substratosphere” airliner.
The new “Boeing 307” a 33
passenger plane, will be used on
! these trips in order to secure ex
l act information on comparative
| perfomance.
This great land plane has a
I gross weight of about 44,000
i pounds. It is little more than
j half as large as the giant new
74-passenger clipper now making
regular trans-Atlantic passenger
flights. It is expected however,
that the “Stratosphere” plane
! will make the New York to Lon1
■don trip in six hours less than
the great flying boats require.
Setting an all-time record, air j
lines of the United States in six I
months have flown nearly 540 mi!
lion passenger miles without a j
fatality.
