"that Grahanne-White is designing
a huge hydro -aeroplane in' which he
purposes to install .a power plant of
1,000 honsepOwer in four' units of
250 horsepower each. • He.. states
that the question of the'carriage o2
fuel' is a very important one., and
he isquite right,
"The distance to New York by
steamer is 3,100 nautical miles, and
to fly this, distance- at the rate of
100 miles an hour at average speed
would take:thirty-one hours, while
to prod -ilea 31,000 horsepower houra
of Work in propulsion with the ex-
isting types of engines would con-
sume no less than 700 pounds of
petrol an hour.
"This means that at the .start the
weight of fuel alone would amount
to 9.687 plus tons, but it should be
remembered that the machine
would get 700 ,pounds lighter every
hour on it9 voyage, so the speed fot
the same engine power would rise.

"A new type of engine is, how-

oharacteristics of the marine en-

through the voyage. Only 600 lbs,
of 21101 40,0 hour would be required,
and instead of starting with a fuel
weight of 9.687 plus iLOTIO it would
be only 6,91 tons.
