Although, at first, the schedule. allows 11 days for the flight from London to Capetown, it is hoped that after operating experience has been gained this time-table will be reduced to 9 days, and with this end in view a new fleet of fast monoplane air-liners, to be known x.the "Atalanta" class, have been ordered by Imperial Airways from Armstrong-Whitworth Aircraft Ltd. These new monoplanes will have a maximum speed of between 140 and 150 miles-an-hour, and will cruise;

Each ma- at 120 miles-an-hour chine will be driven by four Arm- strong-Siddeley double "Mongoose” engines, developing a total of 1,360 horse-power, the engines beingj super-charged in order that the monoplanes shall have a maximum performance when operating from high-altitude aerodromes, many of those on the African route being from 4,000 to 5,000 feet above sea- level.

It is proposed to operate this new! fleet of monoplanes right across! Africs from Cairo to the Cape, and, as much of the journey is made! under tropical conditions, a greater space and luxury have been provid- ed for passengers than in any other; air-liners so far built.
