FLYING SHIPS
EVOLUTION OF ;
THE SEAPLANE
WASHINGTON July 8— Flying
ships instead of flying boats will b"
the logical evolution of navy sea
planes- navy experts believe* as a re
sult of the first air trip across the Ac*
lantie. First impressions of tlu* les
sons taught by that trip had already
taken definite shape in tin* minds
the men who conceived and created the
N C machines before Lieutenant tom*
niander A. G. Head had manoeuvre M
the N G-4 to a safe mooring at Ply
mouth • KnglamL
Strangely en«Vch- it was to the *\
p«*i ienee of the X C -1* lost off the
A >res and the N C battered ou
of usefulness by heavy seas before
>h * mad** p i t at Porta JLlgada- that
tin* inventive genius of the department
turned foi inspiration; not to the N 0
-4 that battled her way triumphantly
through tin* historic journey. .
As far as they have yet gone an !
lacking detailed reports and comment ^
from the seventeen men who set ou
from ttockaway on the great adver*
lure- th*' experts apparently has*
reached certain definite preliminar.
conclusions to guide them in futur
seaplane designing. They are convinc
ed that to play its full part in naval
strategy* the seaplane must become as
independent a unit as a modern sub
marine or destroyer. It must he aid •
to keep the seas in heavy weathet*
riding it out on the surface. It mus*
he able to lift itself into air or t*>
plane down to safe landing oven when
tall >eas are running and it must pro*
\ itlo for its crew safety* shelter and
reasonable comfort under very ad
verse circumstances for the efficiency
of the plane depends upon the effic
iency *f its men.
Also, to fulfill its function as scout*
this plane of the future must be able*
to communicate at all times by radio.
When the X C *3 was forced down
west of the Azores with Command*’*
John H. Towers, flight commando *
aboard* she became' dumb. As a scout
ing unit her value to a fleet was lost
from that moment whatever her com
mander might have learned of vital
importance to the fleet commando.
could not have been transmitted.
The answer to all of these require
ments in the minds of the experts
spells larger craft; veritable flying
ships. The vision toward which the de
signers are looking is that of flotilla *
of seaplanes- relying wholly upon
their own power for transportation on
the surface or in the air and operat
ing from swift “mother ships” as sub
marines and destroyers now operate.
These conclusions will be written
into new designs gradually. As battle
ships have developed from 11-000 ton
predrendnaughts to the 43*000-ton*
monsters for which the Xavy is now
contracting- so naval officers say* sea
plane evolution will come type by type
and year hv year, each advance being
based on results obtained with preced
ing types. This is the program laid out
by the Xavy Department as the basis
for the request recently made to Con
gross by Secretary Daniels for $4I>*
000 000 for aviation development in
thy next fiscal year.
Tart of this appropriation, if grant
ed* will go into lighter-than-air devel
opment. The General Board is expect
ed to recommend immediate purchase
of a British rigid dirigible for person
nel training and the construction of a
similar vessel on American designs as
pilot ship of a fleet of air cruisers.
The purchase of the British “Zeppe
lin" would permit the training of a
crew to handle the first American
craft when completed. v
The Xavy Department is said to
be readw to proceed with Zeppelin con
st met ion on its own plans wheneve.
Congress grants authority and appro
priations. The ship* it is understood*
would not be patterned exactly on the

pel in const ruct ion. llio disco\oiy of
non-combustible helium gas to inflat
the bugs is said to have ‘pointed the
j uay to some radical changes in design.
; Details of what is contemplated* how- j
i over* have not been disclosed.
Xaval experts point out that in !
both seaplane and dirigible develop
ment one of the most important ele_
, meats to be considered is that of got. ,
i ting efficient power. The Liberty mo
tors have proved highly satisfactory \
so faV as endurance goes on the tran -
Atlantic flight but no means have yet
been evolved to got full benefit oi
their power. The problem is the same
as that encountered with steam tur
bines in surface craft. The efficient ,
engine speed of any gasoline motn
now known is too high for efficient 1
propeller speed. Connected direct to j
the engine shafts* the propMlers v<** *
volve so rapidity that the length an«h
pitch of the blades cannot he set <o as I
to obtain all of the lifting power tho ,
engine could furnish.
The navy has been working for
months with a reduction gear system
to go between the engine and the pro
peller. A smiilar device has permitted
destroyer.* to use turbine engines* b'it
it has found a difficult task to design
a lightweight reduction gear for sea
planes or other aircraft. Should this
device bo worked out, tin* N ( sea
planes could be made much more of_
ficient and their cruising radius ho
greatly increased.
As to tin* sea-keeping qualities of
the X (’ planes* the experience of tin*
X Cl- and X C -*°» indicate to experts
that some way must he found* to get
the plane surface higher out of wat*»r.
This would save them from batteriri
into the sea when riding the surface.
A monoplane type flying boat is be
ing experienced with which may de
velop enough to warrant search in th.d
direction.
\\*w gasoline motors for lighte**

and received their first test on the
flight of the dirigible C-5 from M >m

attempt at a direct flight to Ireland

"C” type.
Extensive tests with dirigibles
driven by the motors previously em
ployed for this sendee are said to hav*'
demonstrated that the big gasbags
could not cany enough fuel to insun
safe passage across the Atlantic. A
Pacific coast concern then tinned out
the engines which went into the C*o
after they had been tested at the Navy
Yard gear in a 27">-hour continuous
run which gave remarkable results •#
fuel economy. Details of engine con

that on the 26-hour continuous flight
of the C-5 from Montauk Point to St.
