Anything much faster is impractical from the point of view of cost, safety and care of passengers. He says. definitely: "Two notions about aviation of the -- future you may be prepared to dis- card -- the stratosphere flight for 7 passenger traffic, and the 500-mile-per- hour flight. The stratosphere flight is a possibility, but the sacrifices are too great. The cabin of the strato- | sphere ship must be a small, hermet- | ically sealed, windowless metal box. a Loss of pressure at 50,000 or 60,000 -- feet of altitude would be instantly 7 fatal to everyone on board. For what?/7 To bring Europe within a span of ten 7 hours? The 24-hour ship will fly at a7 reasonable height, between 12 and 207% thousand feet, above all atmospheric] disturbances, above the dangerous ice © formation strata. The passengers; 7 free from air sickness, will play, exer- | cise, dance in the recreation hall, walk | up and down the glass observation ~ galleries in the leading edge of the | seven-foot-high wing, sleep comfort- | ably, eat the finest cooking--travel, in| short, in all the luxury the finest 7 transatlantic liner can provide. 3 "Ships can be constructed to with= = stand the worst tempests of which ~ the limitless ocean of the air is cap- J able. These same ships with their @ strong, high duralumin hulls, will ride J out the worst storms on the surface | of the ocean, if forced to descend. We | will sacrifice a few hours of speed and = instead give you safety. For, by re- | ducing speed, we can increase fuel q capacity, and therein lies the real ~ safety factor of the long distance air- | plane. Is London fogged or storm-7| lashed? Then Hamburg, Bordeaux, © Lisbon, Marseilles or Genoa will be 7 clear and safe. 4 "The flying boats of the very near | future will have a flying range of" 5000 miles. A word from the radio dispatcher at the port of destination, 7 and the pilot flies to clear weather ; and safe harbor. Taxi planes await | the passengers wherever the landing | is made, and little time is lost." = The flying boats which will soon™ ply regularly between Los Angeles and | Shanghai could make a transatlantic™ crossing with ridiculous ease. The © transpacific flight is possible now be= cause the refueling stops and over-_ night rests may be made on American} territory: Honolulu, Midway Island,% Wake Island, Guam and Manila. 4 The next step will be nonstop to) Europe on four giant motors, in a fly- ing boat as big as a house, as com=~ fertable, and certainly more beauti-| ful.
