Stratosphere Flight

TRYING FOR

10 MILES HIGH

By ‍J. D. S. ALAN,

ANOTHER attack on the

height record

..

for heavier-than-air ma». chines is contemplated soon by the Air Ministry,

The machine used will be the enormous single-seater Bristol monoplane in which Squadron- Leader "Ferdie" Swain pushed the record to almost 91⁄2 miles last September.

His precise height was 49,044ft. It was tragle that his long and gallant struggle should end a miser- able 56ft. short of the magle 50,000. The climb took much longer than was antlelpated.

By international rules, Swain's great record will stand until it is broken by 300 metres or 98411. -but the Royal Air Force is con- fident that the required- 50,928(1. will be exceeded.

The engine is a special air-cooled Pegasus, with two-stage super- charger to enable it to develop more power at 40,000ft. than I does at ground level.

INFLATED SUIT

The pilot wears an inflated sult like a diver.

Later in the year the R.A.E. wil have a second stratosphere plane,j fitted with D liquid-cooled Rolls-

Royce engine,

It will be fitted to a monoplane similar to the present record- breaker.

Stratosphere flight will help to make air defence more effetent and economic,

The higher defending patrois can fly, the quicker will they reach targets indicated by wireless.

Increased speeds and helghts used by bombers are making problems of Hnterception from-fighters "standing

by" much more difficult.
