PICK-A-BACK PLANE LOWERS

AIR MAIL COST

5d. a 1b. For Ocean Crossing

WORKING costs of the forthcoming Transatlantic air mail service, are likely to be much lower than was at first expected.

Calculations based on the capabilities of the unique Mayo “pick-a-back" aeroplane, for instance, reveal that the fuel costs of carrying 4,000lb. of mail over the ocean may be less than Sd. per Ib.

L. Piper, carrying on with the combined trials of the composite machine.

The Main consists of a large four-engined flying-bont, similar to thuse which Imperiul Airways will use on the Empire routes, but modifled to enable it to carry aloft the Mercury, n four-engined font- plane. The Mercury has been designed to enable it to break away from the Main in mid-air and proceed with the job of carrying a big out of mails across the 2,000 miles of the North Atlantic at a cruising speed of 165 m.p.b.

crossing Calculations based on fuel prices on both sides of the Atlanife show that the floatplane should make the double-ocran (allowing for winds) at a fuel cost of less than £80.

When the order for the aircraft was placed, it was specified that the for 2,100 miles Mercury should be able to carry 1,000. of nylond against a hend-wind of 60 mph. But it now appears likely that the payload in both directions will be nearer 2,00015.
