FLYING
WITHOUT WINGS?
FUTURE OF THE HELICOPTER. Major W. T. Blake writes to a Lendon paper:
Fer some days much has been heard of
a new type of aeroplane which is being
BOSTOCK'S
perfected near London. The novelty of ROYAL ITALIAN CIRCUS
this machine is that it is said to depart
from ordinary design and possess the power of vertical ascent and descent. It would therefore be capable of landing
in any Space large enough to take the THE
span of the wings.
If this report true, though so far little has been heard definite nature

dying, one factor which retards the de-! velopment of commercial aviation that is, the large space, required for lading! purposes "being at once removed. With the development of a helicopter, machines could land and rise from any flat-roofed bous, and the necessity of having aéro- dromes miles away from large town. with the consmadent delay, would be done away with.
Probably the introduction of a reliable helicopter would do more to popularise civil aviation than any other invention, for it is the question of garage and land ing which prhaps more than anything) se will deter the civilian from taking up flying as a means of pleasure and With a machine able wasy locoration.
to land one on the roof of ones dwelling) aviation would beom suddenly
One great objection, from some view-1 points to incorporating a helicopter with an aeroplane of the present type would E the reduction of speed involved by the extra weight and head resistance of the machinery carried. For the ordinary civilian, looking for a safe and easy method of fight in which ten miles an (hour less is not at great importaner, this
would not be a serious objection.
It may be worth while to consider the difficulty, which the helicopter enthuiast has before him. Apart from any dif fculties which may arise when a machine has been produced, the one great fact which has beed of consideration is the question of friction..
WHAT A HELICOPTER 13.
A belicopter may roughly be described. ns a horizontal fan, which when set in motion, would tend to flying upwards, carrying any attachments with it. It is en exactly the same principle na the air. screw now used to propel the areoplane in a horizontal direction.

The chief difference is the direction of 5.15 & 9.15 p.m. the path of flight. To produce a machine capable of lifting its own and a certain amount of additional weight in a vertical direction is comparatively easy but, when one considers that the helicopter is re
olving at a tremendous speed and is of necessity attached to the part being lifted, it is not hard to realise that after a very short interval the attachments will begin to revolve also, awing to the friction of the connecting shaft revolving in its socket or whatever form of attachment! has been adopted. I this difficulty has been overcome then a tremendous stride has been made in aeronautical engineer- ing.
Other difficulties of the belicopter are the immense power required to lift ver- Lically the present weights carried up- wards at an angle by the type of machine now in use. Not only does vertical lift

require more power than an inclined lift, MACK SENNET'S MASTERPIECE
the present type of aeroplanes
with huge wing surfaces, the head resist ance would be enormous-too enormous to make the helicopter of much value. Here the need for farther devloping the'; idea comes into force.
If the helicopter trouble has been satisfactorily dealt with there is no ap- parent reason why the planes should not be greatly diminished. This would great- ly reduce the end resistance during ascent, and, also, to a lesser degree, when the machine was flying, in a horizontal path, thus partly compensating for the extra resistance due to the helicopter itself.
When a perfectly reliable engine (in) order to obviate the danger of a forced landing) is manufactured-possibly the use of several power units might solve the dificulty-there appears to be no reason why the wings should not vanish altogether. Then at once the whole gues tion of head resistance would be solved. The machine would ascend rapidly and descend at a speed governed by the revolu tions of the belicopter. Owing to the absence of planes, the aeroplane would resemble an aerial torpedo, and should be capable of immense speed. Should one, or even two, of the engines cut out. the power of the remaining units should be sufficient to ensure a safe landing.
Before the reader dismisses the idea with a smile it may be worth white to mention that one aeroplane, the Coanda biplane, has already been designed to fly without a propeller. a small turbine taking its place and propelling the machine by the backward draught, of air. A well-known engineer, Mr. James Keith, bas niso patented an idea, similar in many ways to the ordinarily accepted idea of helicopter, by means of which he pro- poses to "handle" that air with fans, thus producing powerful ain currents" which will force the machine vertically upwards and also in a horizontal direc tion when required.
Though at present the helicopter is 're- garded rather as the child of cranks the day may not be far distant when it will to be a very large extent revolutionise aircraft design..
VON TIRPITZ'S APOLOGIA,
Admiral von Tirpitz's memoira..will appear shortly. The Admiral writes in the preface: "It seems to me a duty now to record my recollections, because I can give a proof that our old State edifice was not decayed and antiquated, but was fully capable of development, and that, furthermore, the political legend of a ruthless autocracy and a jingoist mili tary caste having started the war is abso lutely untrue. The Kaiser, in particular, did-not-will-the-war-he rather did bis best to prevent it after he had recognised. the danger. The war arose through a concatenation of unfavourable circum、) stances, and, owing to the fact that per sonalities were then in office who did not master much a difficult situation?"
