DIESEL ENGINE MAY CAPTURE CONTROL OF AIR New Mystery Motor Cuts Fuel Cost to One-Sixth; Uses Oil. BgSci'ncf: if r’.<<:■ WASHINGTON, Ma' 24-Ameri-ca's first Diesel or oil-fueled airplane engine which flew from Detroit to Langley Field for Its first nubhc inspection by leading aeronautical experts may be the firs, of anew breed of aeronautical power plants that may drive the gasolinecarburetor sort of engine out of the sky. For several vears the Taekard engineers under the direction of Canfain L. M. Woolson have been developing the new engine that, has just been allowed to perform in public. The ordinary person would not give it. a second glance so conventional does it seem in outward appearances. But to the engineer who has seen Die'd engines capture the propulsion of sea-going ships from steam turbines who has watched the application of oil engines to power plan*' and sizable construction marhinerv. who has even s rp n the coming of Diesel powered automobile truck; the Packard engine consuming thr sort of oil that is burned In furnaces and driving a. standard t-’pc airplane for six hours across country comes as a portent. Little wonder then that the pilots research scientists and airplane manufacturers visiting the Langley Memorial Laboratory crow ded around the Packard engine when its locked rovers were unfastened. Nine cylinders, air cooled, arranged radially, compose the Packard airplane engine. The familiar spark plugs and the carburetor so necessary on a gasoline engine are lacking. One valve in each cylinder head acts as air inlet and burned fuel exhaust. The fuel, oil instead of gasoline, is sprayed into the cylinder instead of being mixed with air and vaporized in a carburetor. The heat of compression of the squeezed air in the contracting cylinder icnitew the oil sprayed into it. Thus electrical ignition is dispensed with. The engine is of the four stroke type and operates at from 1700 to 2000 revolutions ner minute with cylinder

They wil spend a. sixmonths’ honeymoon in Europe. pressures as high as 1200 pounds per square inch. For a given mileage the fuel cost is only about a sixth that of a gasoline fueled engine. The present design weighs about three pounds per horsepower, a remarkable record despite- the fact that standard gasoline airplane engines weigh less *han two pounds per horsepower. Engineers have estimated that for long flights the saving in fuel weight due to the use of oil instead of gasoline will make the Diesel engine more economical despite its heavier weight. Starting a Diesel engine.'presents more difficulties than for a gasoline engine. Since the firing of the fuel mixture in the cylinder is accomplished by the heat of compression of the % air. a much swifter kick must be given in starting. While the exact method of starting the Packard engine is not yet revealed, those who saw the Langley Field demonstration are of the opinion that the necessary impulse is given by the firing of a powder cartridge. Once he engine is warmed by running it can be stopped and started in the more conventional manner.
