safe airplanes AIM OF SCIENCE IN NEW DEVICES •swxsr Scientific Research Hv VVllllaAii S. Neal ,|SS Start Correspondent) Washington < INS > - Rpmarkabl ° nrn(fr ,HH is being made through sclen- ,, research in the development m, safety devices for airplanes according to Dr. Joseph S. Aimes, chair%ni;!n of the National Advisory Commitfor Aeronautics. ' Achievements of the past year have , ..weeded the committee's hopes and thelT is likehood of “fresh discoveries in the near future, he*declared In a report to Con (tress. Among the important developments listed by Ames are: The slotted wing developed by Hanle> Page the Rrltish inventor, which American scientists are seeking to improve. Discovery of the cause of flat spins" and changes in airplane designs which will eliminate this cause of which will eliminate this cause of many disaster. Invention of a alloy, called “Alt lad.” which may he used on a new all-metal dirigible for the Navy. New Designs Research in the field of seaplane pontoons, which may lea dto the resign of a new and much lighter potjtoon. Proving feasibility of building top airplane wing in two pieces, to greatly increase the visibility of the aviator and increase safety factors. Already American experts have made experiments which lead them to believe that the Handley-Page slot will be perfected to a point where it will prevent many plane accidents. Dr. Ames said. This slot, which consists of a metal cap fitting over the leading edge of an airplane wing, is pushed away to change the force of air currents and greatly increase the lifting power of planes. Experiments are now being conducted at Langley Field, Va. to achieve better results by putting holes in the wing itself. After long experiments, he said, experts found that “flat spins’’ could be prevented by the simple device of staggering the wings of biplanes. Many aviators have lost their lives because their planes, in a dive or near the ground, would simply go into a vertieie whirl and crash. The experiments also showed. Dr. Ames said, that a monoplane is much less liable to go into a spin. The new metal which may be used on the Navy’s proposed all-metal dirigible was developed after difficulties were encountered In the use cf duralumin, which was found subject to corrosion. The new metal is made by dipping duralumin into pure aluminum and tolling it. A thin skin of pure aluminum is left on the outside. Dr. Ames explains. Fool Proof Planes The frequently suggested methods of making airplanes “fcol froot" are of little interest to the government scientists. They are the landing of an air Plane by parachute and the helicopthei to make possible vertieie ascent and descent. While the parachute scheme has been proven possible, it is not practical. I)r. Ames said. The parachute sequired is so heavy that it destroys the greatly limits the load an airplane can carry, he said. The national committee, he said is continuing its investigations nto the Possibilities of developing an oil-burn-ing airplane engine. The chief diffiiulty, he said, is the injection of oil into the cylinders. b eek-End News Over The State (By United Press) HAMMOND — Joseph Puskowski’s luntral was elaborate.

By the efforts of the pupils who I sold tickets a large crowd saw the j show. The Raveling's Staff sponsored the show in order to pay for individual , pictures in the annual.
