For the first time in air trans- portation, the new flying boats will includo all of the comforts available in surface travel.
According to specifications forth by the company, the aircraft are to be capable of carrying 100 passengers, with storage space for five tons of cargo, living quarters for a crew of 10, and speeds ranging from 200 miles per hour at sea level to 300 miles per hour in the sub- stratosphere.
No comparative debuts of the air- craft projects submitted cun yet be made available since the designs are competitive. The preliminary

This huge six-engined trans-oceanic Clipper Ship, with a non-stop range of 5,000 miles, represents a design of the Sikorsky Aircraft Division of the United Aircraft Company, Bridgeport, Connecticut, one of the four leading aircraft manufacturers to submit plans for the construction of a fleet of giant airliners in response to an invitation by Pan-American Airways.
Great Britain's Imperial Airways, France's Air France, Germany's Deutsche Lufthansa, Italy's Ala Littoria, all have an- nounced plans for early trans-Atlantic services and extensions of other services, and Pan-American, pioneers of the Pacific, do not intend to lag.
