SKY AIRPORTS.
NEW WAR TERROR.
The chance of using Great Britain's new airships, which are shortly to be laid down, as flying aerodromes, has been exercising the minds of the Air Ministry experts. This would facrease the range of 6ghting aeroplanes from 1,000 miles to 10,000 miles or more.
Actual experiments bave, in fact, been secretly carried out which demonstrate that an aeroplane can be launched in safety from an airship in flight and can be picked up again at the end of a trip.
What has not been determined 'is the number of aeroplanes that could be carried on one of these great liners of the sky, nor to what extent weather would interfere with the operations. These are problems that have to be solved as soon as the new craft are ready to take the air.
It is nevertheless certain that British airships will fulfil this function of sky aerodromes, Bom #bers, fighting planes, scouts, and reconnaissance machines will all be carried, ready to be launched at a favourable opportunity, It will be possible to transport a whole
•squadron of 'planes halfway round the world, and then, from a vantage point of comparative safely, to launch them on a relatively short flight to scatter death and destruc- tion.
The airship would be able to take full advantage of the clouds, for lighter-than-air craft are able
to climb to -emarkable heights with an amazing rapidity, as was demonstrated by the Zeppelins during their bombing raids on London.
DEADLY SPEED.
All the leading countries of the world have realised the importance of these "erlal! harbours," with their hornets' nests of steel "attack 'planes." France, America, and Italy have already turned their attention to this new mode of æría! warfare, and Great Britain, though late in the field, because of the procrastination over the airship programme, is anxious to make up lee-way.
In an air fight there is always an advantage in altitude. The steel attack planes, isunched from the great altitudes to which they would be transported by the airships, would go hurtling earthward at a speed of 200 miles an hour, able to strike deadly blows before enemy craft launched from the ground could attain a fighting altitude.
Giant aircraft, designed spe- cially for work with the Navy, -and-of-far-more-powerful types. than any produced hitherto, will shortly undergo their official trials.
They include enormous "fly- ing ships" driven by groups of highpowered engines and carrying a crew of six men, including a wireless operator and machine gunners. Another type of air leviathan has a bull strong enough to ride out rough water on the open sea. One of these will have motors developing 4,000 horse- power, and it will be employed in carrying urgent Transatlantic mails.
There is also a powerful type designed for long-distance flights seaward from shore stations. It has two Rolls-Royce engines, and carries a crew of five. An ex- tremely fast machine, which will -undertake Coastal patrols, will accommodate, besides the pilot, a navigator and two machine:gun="" ners. It will carry, a torpedo.
