LANDING FLAPS Conquering Lion Caged BOCK BEERFETE

Device for Planes Explained For Engineers at National Meet.

By Sc 10¢€ WASHINGTON, March 12.—How unobstructive and little-noticed landing flaps on the trailing edge of airplane wings can provide a “spare wing” in times of emergency was described by H. D. Fowler, aeronautical engineer of the Glenn L. Martin Co., here this morning before the National Aeronautic Meeting sponsored by the Society of Automobile Engineers. Mr. Fowler is the designer of one type of landing flap which, when moved out from its concealed position in the wings, allows the pilot essentially to shift gears and gain from 10 to 15 per cent greater climbing rate. With one engine out of commission, at such a crucial time as a takeoff, it is estimated that the flaps increase the climbing rate by 30 per cent. Similarly, the use of flaps in descent permits the airplane to have a lower landing speed and to come down more steeply into a landing field. Flap Held Superior

Mr. Fowler described his type of landing flap as superior to the socalled split flaps now in general use and explained that the latter had been responsible for some of the recent crashes. “Within a year's time,” Mr. Fowler said, “three instances where split flaps were indirectly connected with air crashes have been recorded. In two additional instances ice formation on the wings caused crashes, Aptly it has been stated that it is a great s Batety feature to have two engines—one for spare; several airports—one for spare; several means radio communication for etc.; but apparimportant factor and that is we wing ready at in flight to provide margin of safety.” of usefulness for flaps is 'In ‘the

The Diesel-powered German flying boats, which last year accomplished trans-Atlantic trips from the Azores to Long Island, solved this launching problem by the use of catapults from their “mother” ship, but wing flaps can achieve the same objective without this costly and elaborate mechanism. Added Passenger Comfort Added passenger comforts which the next five years of aviation will bring were traced at the same meeting by H. O. West, superintendent of engineering of the United Air Lines Transport Corp. While sleeper planes have user more than a year, the planes originally designed for this purpose are just now coming into use, Mr. West said. At present the

On the large airliners of the future, on day service, swivel chairs and divans will be the rule. Lighting of the cabin may very well be indirect, with a separate generator for the lighting current. Ventilation is probably adequate in present planes when high flying is accomthe cabin will have to be airsealed, and then the air will probably have to be recirculated.
