Aircraft That Hovers By-FRED ER I C 4 HASKIN

' WASHINGTON. D. CV June 30. , heavier-than-air machine that Trill ascend and descend Yertlcally, and move forward when called upon to do o, may uot have arrived, but It Is In the offing. Henry A- Berliner, a "Washington Inventor, has been making denionstr&tlons with . ,a machine of this kind that have' attracted widespread attention. -. Helicopter Is the nam given, this "type of flyer. Experts say It Is to be

the next development la the flying

game, and experimenting has been

stimulated .by a" big" money prize that has- been offered In England for1 th'o

first machine that will meet certain"

fundamental requirement!!. , Mr.'. Her-1 liner, is '-modest, about what he has accomplished.' and bos tot gone after the prize-money as yet;- but It is possible that he has solved, at "least one "of the big probtenn-rpresented by the theory of the helicopter. , There ara. three of these problems first, getting the machine into the air; second, , flying it, horizontally; and, thirds bringing it ' down. . again. -The first haS not-been -so difficult of solution- and many.'4 machines have' been cemstracted that wilt rise from the ground vertically."' although if cannot be said that Jn any one of them this ( phase ' of helicopter night had . been: perfected; ' Mr. Berliner efforts hare. been-"direeted largely toward horizontal flight.'- ' ' .. V Of- ewiwe any "helicopter that goes

VP in theair wm come flown. Tne great difficulty lies in bringing It ; down,' rather than. Jetting It fall down, and it JS said that this is the greatest of the . three problems . mentioned. Theoretically, the; helicopter, can go straightup in' the air, fly In any . direction, hoverln the. alrr and. then come down safely Power JIfts .thefn. and . moves : them and holds them, but power Is dlfflcuU of application fn making a deseent. The machines have-. no wtngs and when the-motor :is cut out there is a marked tendency toward- a rock-lika fall that, spells disaster. If there were an engine of extreme nicety of adjustment and. absolute certainty of action descent might ' be . accomplished by simply throttelIng down the propeller spaed gradually. But there is no engine of such dependability as" yet. Propellers At Cross Purposes ' The--Berliner . machine which - has been constructed, primarily for exper

imentation in horizontal, flight, resem

ble 'an airplane, except that It has, no

;winga. The-fuselage and rudder, are

the same and the motor-Is mounted forward as in the airplane. On each

Pide of the fuselage is anr upright car carrying a 14-foot propeller, and these propellers-whirl in opposite directions, forcing the air downwards and giving the lift required to bring the 1,300 pound machine and pilot straight up into the air. Aviators point out that getting a helicopter off the ground is comparatively an easy matter, for the air that Ts forced downward forms a cushion that helps sustain " the machine. However, when the machine gets some distance above the ground there is no such aireushlon and there- is a gyroscopic action caused by the big rotating propellers which frequently cause, the helicopter to turn turtle. Lieut. Stefan Von' Petr6zy. of -the Austrian Balloon ServiceV Is said to have ascended 170 feet In a machine of this type, and it is claimed that "the Englishman, Louis' Brennan, has been up 40 feet inside a hangar, but Mr. Berliner has . never taken his helicopter more than. 10 or 12 feet above ground. That Is ample for experimental DurDoses, he says.

The WashlnEton inventor In ad

dressing himself to the problem Of horizontal motion - hit upon the, plan of tilting the helicopter. This is

done by means of a small propeller

near the tail of the machine which 13

geared to the motor. By lifting the tail slightly this tiita the whole machine, which Tesults in a forward mo

tion at the expense of the- lifting pow er.

Mr: Berliner claims that with a load of 1,000 pounds only 3 per cent of the lift is lost in a tilt of 15 degrees,- and

that this-loss is transferred Into a

horizontal mill of about 25 peT cent

of the lifting power: The inventor believes that a 25 degree tilt may pos

sibly be -attained- with Safety, but he has nevw sone that- far in any of Ms

exnerTments. in the course of which

h Tins made short flights over rouffh

ground. ' -'' Such success as he has met irltli has encouraged him greatly, but he is by no means ready to go after the

British prize money. Barely a beginning has as yet. been, made in this de

partment of aviation,- he says. -War Stopped Experiments

From tire day of the first- bew"ie4

than-alr machine . the helicopter has been one of the visions of both, the men who fly and those who design and build "ships." They have wanted

a kind of aircraft that would not require an Immense field to take off or for a landings one that could be used from a battleship, or passenger

vessel, or from the roof of an office

building. Accordingly a . deal of ex

perimenting In this direction was go

ing on almoet from the beginning of

aviation.

However, when the European war

opened, and the value of the. airplane as a weapon of offense and defense

was - apparent, all experiments were

abandoned save those that had to do

with planes. Invention genius and en

ergy were concentrated on perfecting

that type, of aircraft, with the result that more progress was ; made .In a few months - than, ordinarily .would have been noted" in many years. The

war necessity did wonders for the air

plane, ? but if set tne helicopter back

correspondingly. It "was regarded as highly desirable, especially for bombing operations ; and for observation

purposes, as a machine that could re

main Stationary in the air for an in

definite period has obvious advanta

ges f or-such workr- It would combiner

the immobility of an observation balloon with the mobility of a plane, and at the same Jtime it .would not, present such- an easy mark for antl-aircraff guns'.' ',.... JBut It was recognized that the di?: Acuities -in the way pf - developing such a machine were' immeasurably greater than those encountered in the p&rf ectirig". Of the airplane and - the war .emergency was so great that the helicopter idea was laid aside. It was found,, also, tfiat bombs could be dropped from a plane flying at a speed of 100 miles an hour almost as accurately as. from" a stationary or hov

ering machine, and that minimized

the need of the new type of aircraft Some" scientists are extremely doubtful- that the helicopter can ever be made practicable. Without wings

it has-nothing to support it save the propellers and the power of its motor, and it" is claimed that it will always' be- erratlo and tend to turn turtle in the most surprising and danger, oua. fashion.,-. The Austrian inventor
