Fuselage Absence Makes 430 M.P.H. Possible, Williams Says.

By MAJ. AL WILLIAMS Scripps-Howard Aviatign Editor The Germans are rumored to have developed a super-super-fast warplane, good for 430 miles an hour—an all-wing (no fuselage) monoplane, with two motors in tandem, two pilots, both lying prone

in the wing, lots of guns and a load of light bombs. From the standpoint of practical aviation engineering, it is feasible to build such a plane. It could be powered by two Daimler - Benz engines (at least 1200 horsepower each) and certainly could tumn out ; well over 400 : miles an hour. Al Williams =~ gy;ination of the orthodox fuselage would cut air resistance—“drag.” Lower resistance, greater horsepower, plus streamlining, means ultra high speeds. Basically, the fuselage is not essential. Its normal function is to provide a method for hooking a tail on the plane and providing space for the pilot (or passengers and payload). The tail group is essential for controlling flight, but such a unit can be tacked on a wing, by means of booms extending rearward, at a great saving in wind resistance. A wing and power are all that are absolutely needed for flight.

Skin Friction Important

Skin friction, the rub between the air and parts of the moving body, is also an important item, since it too tends to cut speed. The number of square feet of a body moving rapidly through the air is, despite streamlining, a factor determining the amount of skin friction. Elimination of the fuselage does away with many square feet of skin area exposed to the air. It’s no new trick to mount motors in wings. We see examples in the Douglas planes pouring in and out of airports. Placing the engines in tandem, one behind the other, is good aviation engineering, because the frontal area required for one serves for both, at great saving in resistance. Crew space is said to be provided by placing the pilots in the wing, lying prone. This can be done, but how long pilots can fly that way is more than I am -willing to guess. The last notch in speed means outrunning enemy air patrols. If you can outrun them, you can reach your objective. And if you can do that, physical discomforts can be ignored,

Going Higher

To build a standard six-room house in Indianapolis today, you'll pay nearly $900 more than you would have in April of last year. Had you built this same home in October the added cost would have been but $69; to build in July last year your extra expense (over the April cost) would come to $5. J Today, according to the Federal Home Loan Bank Review, it costs $6375 to build*a standard six-room house. The Review every three months figures the building costs in key cities, obtaining its estimates from the same reputable local con.tractors and operative builders, Here are the Review’s figures for

The previous high for the period from January 1937 until today was in the first month of 1939 when the six-room standard home would have cost $5831. And from local and national experts comes word the costs are going to go up still more. Roy Wenzlick of St. Louis, presi dent of Real Estate Analysts, speak ing here recently predicted that building costs during 1941-42 will rise so rapidly that private buildinz would be discouraged. He did say, though, that total residential building during 1941 will be equal to that of last year because the defense pr¢gram will make up any shortage caused by rising prices. Fred -L. Palmer, publicity chairman of the Indianapolis Home Builders Association, expects general increase in building costs this spring. Earl B. Teckemeyer, president, and Urban K. Wilde, executive seécretary of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board, also predict rising building costs for residential properties. They report that both labor and miaterial costs are up over the same period last year and they describe the material supply as “fair.” The house on which costs are re-

PUPILS ON NYA RAISE GRADES

That's the Case in 180 of 610 Indiana Schools, Survey Shows.

Pupils in 180 Indiana high schools have raised their scholarship ranking while employed on National Youth Administration school projects, an NYA survey indicated. The results were taken from

questionnaires sent to Indiana schools where an NYA program is in operation. A total of 415 schools stated that pupils’ scholarship was not affected either way by the additional duties while 15 schools reported a decrease. \ The schools to which the questionnaires were sent have an enrollment of 177,000 and 7200 are employed on NYA projects. A check is made on the pupils’ use of their NYA earnings, 293 schools reported, while 414 feel that they have helped the pupils in spending it wisely.

«Boiler Kid’ Plans Benefit

Dance to Buy Home For Electrician.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 19 (U. P.) .—Frederick B. Snite Jr, whose family’s wealth saved his life when

paralysis five years ago, was busy today with plans to help a less fortunate fellow victim—a 24-year-old electrician with a wife, two children and’no money. Fred, the “boiler kid” from Chicago, already has provided Steve Happney with two of his own new small chest respirators which permit the massaging of muscles which

could not be reached while the young Miami father was in the iron lung at Jackson Memorial Hospital.

He’ll Stage Benefit

But Fred did not think that was enough. So on Feb. 27 he will stage and attend in person a benefit dinner dance at the Beachcomber

funds to purchase Steve a small home ‘where he can be reunited with his wife, now working, and their children, who are living with relatives. Some of the money also will go for braces and other equipment needed to boost Steve along the road to recovery. The husky, good-natured Mr. Happney was stricken with infantile paralysis four years ago. His life was saved by the iron lung presented to the hospital by a local American Legion Post. Fred’s committee for the benefit are Robert N. Leppert, a Miami insurance agent who was one of his classmates at Notre Dame, and Dennis R. Scanlon, Swedish surgical instrument manufacturer who, invented the small chest respirator,

New Device Developed
