New Device to Be Put In General Uee j

pends on Electricity.
Dayton, O.—Orville Wright, in dls i
cussing his new Invention—the auto
matic stabilizer for aeroplanes—said
that the time was almost at hand when i
aerial transportation would be as safe j
as any other mode of travel. Mr. j
Wright said he probably would be
able to put the new device on the mar- |
ket next spring. In an interview he j
expressed the belief that the aeroplane 1
would be in general use for commer- i
cial transportation within a very short
time. He also is rapidly perfecting
ids aeroboat and indicates that he soon
will have some other great surprises
for those interested in aerial flight. i
“We have invented an automatic j
stability device which will revolution- |
ize flight,” said lie. "It is more accu- i
rate than any aviator can be and will
make flying foolproof or as nearly fool
proof as anything can be. 1 have flown
many miles with it and have never
touched the controls. We are now sim
plifying it and expect to be able to
bring It to the point where It may be
put in general use by early spring.
We believe in making aerial work as
safe as any on land, and we will con

tlnue to labor in that direction. We
hope to see the day when it will be
just ns safe to board an aeroplane and
take a long trip as it is at present to
make a journey behind a locomotive.
The stability device will go a long way
toward making this drenin a reality,
and we are enthusiastic ubout it
“Our device insures lateral as well
as fore and aft stability. It depends
in part on electricity, and we shall
soon have the mechanism so perfected
.that it will not get out of order, and
that tneuns safety in (light
“As may not be generally known,
many of the*accidents in aviation have
been due to wbnt is called stalling.
The aviator lets his speed sag below
a certain point—the point necessary to
secure sufficient wind pressure on the
wings to sustain the machine—and it
falls. Nothing can stop it If he is
traveling on an even keel when he
thus reduces his speed below the dan
ger point bis machine will slide back,
tail first to the ground. Our device
prevents the plane from rising too
sharply, and if the speed falls below
the danger point it automatically di
rects the machine to the ground, so
that It will acquire speed enough to
sustnin it.”
Discussing the future of the aero
plane. Mr. Wright said: “The aero
plane will be indispensable, in fact,
wherever water is not available. Mails
will be so carried doubtless over large
stretches of territory in Texas, Utah
and New Mexico. Automatic stability
is all that is needed to make It wholly
practical, and I believe we have solved
the problem.”
