Aeronautical Chamber' of Commerce Selects Six New fork.--Sis American universities equipped for research in aeronautical engineering have been selected hy the Aeronautical Chamber ,w Commerce to test commercial air planes In accordance wlih a new code of procedure on standncd performance The new code, drawn up by a cofti mlttee of the Aeronautical Chamber or Commerce, headed by prof. Ale.vnndei Klemin of New York nnlversity. is ex pected to provide manufacturers with a standard basis upon which to com ptite the speed, rote of cllmh, celling landing speed, aiid other performance data which characterise the capahlii, ties of their planes. Since there is no standard procedure now allowed by the manufacturer in, computing these data, experts say that there Is a wide range of inaccuracies |a the results obtained and advertised. * Officials Accept. New York university. University of Michigan. Purdue university, Stanford university, University of Washington, and the California Institute of Tech nology are the six outstanding engineering institutions selected to carry on the standard tests. Officials of the six universities have accepted the designation of their institutions for the work and are prepared to start the first tests at an early date. Plans for the first test to be conducted nnder the new code of procedure are to he announced by '.he Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce within a few weeks. "The universities designated will undertake to have in readiness, at all times, the necessary instruments and apparatus and to he in a position to give reasonable service to manufacturers." Professor Klemin said. "Pilots for the planes to be tested may be selected by the manufacturer, but tbey must be licensed by the Department of Commerce: Qualified observers will be furnished by the universities, which will receive a certain remuneration for their work in making each test." Must Use Same Propellsrs. The manufacturer may ask for any or all of the following tests to be conducted: High speed; climb to 10,UK) feet; ceiling; angle of Initial climb; length of takeoff; time to take off; 'length of landing run; landing speed: minimum speM with power on, and minimum speed with power off. , The type »nd setting of propellers shall be the same for all tests and shall pot be changed for different tests. In the case of multi-engined planes, performance tests may b* made with one or more of the engines not in action. The code gives specific technical directions to the universities on bow the testa must be con dotted in order to be considered standard. ijflgjffig'lfl* >+m~.
