OCEAN FLYING.
AEROPLANE “SEADROMEX IN
MID-ATLANTIC
The successes recently attained in ocean flying have, stirred the imagination of the public to the possibilities of future development In this direction. It is realised that the presence of relay stations on the route across the Atlantic; would greatly facilitate the eatab lishment of a permanent service, and various, schemes, some of them ra- ther fantastic,” – have been ad- vanced with this end in view. It is} the object of the present article to show that it is quite unnecessary for this purpose to deviate in any essential feature from ordinary practices and experiences of naval architects and aviators. It can be shown that a workable solution is obtainable on the basis of the tech- nical means now at our disposal without borrowing from the possi bilities of future development.
The distanco along a compass Une from St. John's Newfoundland, to Cape Clear in Ireland, is about 1,800 miles, which, at the present state of development, makes it, necessary much for aeroplanes to carry s0 fuel that very little weight can be divided into two or more parts, the freight-carrying capacity can be increased fo the same measure as the weight of fuel, can be reduced) and at the same time the reliability of the service can be immensely im- proved,
A. conservative solution of this problem is here suggested. It may seem very commonplace as compar ed with certain other proposala, but, It has the advantage of being feasi ble and simple, and in that the risks and expenses can be fairly well estimated beforehand. Briefly, " consista in anchoring a ship, In the form of a large barge provided with a flying deck, about midway between the coasts of Newfound- land and the British Isles.
It has been proposed to use the Azores to an intermediate station, and this solution is indeed very at- |tractive for navigation to Southern Europe. About midway between the Azores and Newfoundland is found Milne Bank with a depth of less than 100 fathoms of water, where a relay station might be established, but for navigation to Northern Europe, which it is here proposed more particularly to con aider, the Azores route is rather long, being about 50 per cent. longer than the direct route.
