Speed Hampers Warplanes".
PARIS,
"High speed and heavy engines in warplanes will hamper mobility and 8ghting quality; all military planes are becoming too complicated.
So said Anthony H. G. Fokker, the famous Dutch designer and the battle plane manufacturer, in his Paris: hotel recently,
"It is all speed, speed, speed," he added. "As a manufacturer I have to follow the trend, but } believe that two things are at present being overlooked. "Military acroplanes are asking too! much from the human element. They will need so much personnel to keep them in the air that their effective- ness will be reduced.
"The problem is, therefore, not so much how many warplanes a country can manufacture, but how many they can keep effectively in the air.
