| AKRON, Jan., 6, (/P)-The skele- !
I ton of a man-made mastadon of {
* the air, is being shaped ahead of j
I schedule.
By the beginning of next year,
its constructors expect, the new
queen of the skies will be ready
for her fabric dress and in June
ready for her flight.
More than two-thirds of the gir
der work forming the body have I
| been assembled while separatly
I workmen are fashioning the tap
: ered nose and tail sections that
will complete the cigar-shaped
j structure.
Eight German motors to drive j
the 6,500,000 cubic inch ship have
been tested for the new role of
powering swivelled propllors which j
will enable pilots to move the diri- j
gible forward or backward, up or j
down.
Meanwhile the navy is working
upon heavy oil engines which may
be developed for the installa
tion in the ZR-5, scheduled to be
built as the Akron’s sistership.
Twelve huge gas cells to contain
the non-inflammable lifting gas,
helium, "are being fabricated and
will be installed in the skeleton
body after its strength has been
tested
The cells, the e q u i v alent
of the bulkheads in water craft, are
designed to buoy the dirigible safe
ly even with the loss of gas from
two compartments.
Within the taut dress of water
proofed, metalized skin cover thei
rierid skeleton will be the engine ’
rooms with nothing exposed but
the propellers.
Jmorovements on the airplane j
hook-on gear which has been useo '
successfully with the Los Angeles
will be included in the design of j
the trapeze equipment for handling I
five complete planes within the;
Akron.
The new gear, instead of being
a rigid projection as it is on the
| Los Angeles, will be hinged on one
lend, so it may be dropped for air
plane contacts and then swung
| upward, carrying the plane within
the airship.
With the expected completion of
the Akron in June, the navy has
yet to decide where the ship will
be based. The Lakehurst hangar,
home of the Los Angeles, can ac
comodate but one ship.
