FAMOUS AIRSHIP
Soccttiinj Abcut the Aerodrome Re
cently Tested Wilh Success.
PROCESS OF ITS GRADUAL EVOLUTION
It Principle is 'I hat of the Bird im
Flight and It Will, When Developed,
Fly Like a Bird The Commercial
and Military I sea to Which the
Vehicle t uu lie Put When It is
Finally Perleclcd.
To the Washngton Star we are In
debted for the first satisfactory expla
nation of the now famous airshio re
cently tested with marked success by Its
inventor. Secretary Lngly. of 'the
Smithsonian Institute. Says the Star:
Further than the vague Information
already published. It may be said that
the Lanyley ntrcdrnme has a greater
expanse of wings than the largest of
Known birds the distance from tip to
tip being fourteen feet, while that of the
great condor of the Andes Is but nine
feat. The wiugs. extending uniformly
from each side, are not put In motion,
but Incline at an annle, like those of a
bird In the act of souring. A pair of
screw propellers, each having four
twaddles of a very light material, revolve
upon bearings on opposite sides of the
renr of the lranie.
The main framework, forming the
skeleton body of the muchlne and sup
porting the working mechanism, is of
ateel tubing turned to the thinness of
tissue paper and capable of enduring
nn enormous pressure per square Inch
of surface, this strength being due prin
cipally to Its cylindrical shape. It was
thought that aluminum would be util
ised, but that metal cannot be fash
ioned Into tubes as light and still aa
strong as those of steel.
COMPACT STEAM KNGIXE.
The mechanism of the compact steam
engine, having greater strength per
pound than doubtless any other engine
ever built, has after long experience
been arranged so that advantage has
been taken of almost every portion of
the framework which shows the cylin
ders, rods and tubes. In an Inspection
of the machtne there Is nothing sug
gesting the presence of a steani engine.
The vehicle over all Is said to weigh
about twenty imunds. The additional
weight of a condensing engine was
omitted because unnecessary to demon
strate th principal of aerial flight.
Had there been attached. a suitable
condenser, the aerodrome, Instead of
venturing only a half mile, would the
oretically have traveled around the
world, had the fuel been sufficient. Al
though the theoretical loss of a conden
ser is nothing, the actual loss is esti
mated at less than Ave per ceut. The
additional fuel might have been carried
hnd the secretary made his engine run
at the rate of thlrty-f.li rather than
eighteen miles per hour. The theory Is
that an aerodrome will double Its
power of support when it doubles its
speed. It is unon this problem of the
condenser that Maxim has lately
worked with great success.
That the Langley aerodrome mount
ed the air In a spiral path was not due
to an unevenness of balance, as has
been supposed. It Is very probable
that all aerodromes of the future will
ascend in a corkscrew path until reach
ing the air strata In which the desired
current is to be found. This trick or
ascending In a spiral has been learned
from many birds, principally the spar
row hawk. The common theory that
large birds elevate themselves by re
peatedly flapping tnelr wings down
ward, thereby producing a reacting
nressure of the air equal to their
weight, has been exploded by lnte In
vestigations. It Is the more advanced
theory of Professor Langley and oth
ers that large birds cannot support
themselves In this way. They travel
aflnost entirely by soaring.
PURELY SCIENTIFIC INTEREST.
It Is thought that In the larger aero
dromes of the future gns engines will
replace those of stenm. Electricity
might be employed should success be
obtained In decreasing the weight and
Increasing the retaining powers of
storage batteries, It Is not thought,
however, that Professor Langley will
interest himself In the commercial side
of the ipjestlon. His function has been
the difficult sclcntlllc demonstration of
the principle. There are many more
scientific problems concerning aerial
llight which the great Inventor Is said
to have before him for solution. Im
portant ones relate to means of
la-.nchlng and landing norodromes
without dnnger. Birds havo tricks of
their own for accomplishing these ends.
Many run some distance along the
ground, or dive off high structures In
starting, while In landing they utilize
their wings as pnrachutes and their
legs and toes as springs.
The stoiy of Langlcy's success Is an
Instance of the reward which falls to
him who fearlissly and courageously
tries. Horn at Hoxbury, Boston. In
lNIil, a few years after tne locomotive
became u practical success, he devoted
! the flrFt fifty or more years of his llfo
I to astronomy. On becorritrg secretary
I of the Smithsonian Institution In 1887
he began the construction of parapher
nalia with which within less than nine
years he has "learned of every bird Its
secret."
During these years he has been the
busiest man In the national capital.
In his working hours he has minded
not the ticking of the clock. When Been
to shut himself behind the doors of his
laboratory no one could ever gurss at
the hour when he was to emerge again
to the outer world. He hns told It to a
few friends that In early youth he
watched the nights of birds and con
ceived the strong determination to
I fathom their mysteries,
j THE FIRST APPARATUS.
Ills first studies were made with a
! whirling table, constructed before he
' left the Allegheny observatory. On
i establishing himself In this city he con
' structed an Instrument of this kind on
I a more elaborte scale, It consisted In a
vertical rod terminating In bearings at
celling and floor. From above the cen
ter of this extended at light-angles a
horizontal arm, giving the Instrument
somewhat the appearance of a derrick.
By turning a crank the contrivance
was made to revolve In Its bearings,
To the end of the arm he attached
aeroplanes, like kites of various forms.
By attaching balances and recording
devices to these planes he learned how
much power was required to drive them
through the air at a given speed and
how much weight a plane thus driven
could lift. After testing aeroplanes of
many weights, shnpes and sizes he
learned which kind would give the least
resistance to the sir and which would
lift the greater weight per square Inch
of surface.
This problem solved, the next wns to
ascertain the proper motive power for
propelling the aeroplanes. The choice
was between wings, screws or both. A
few toy birds hnd been known to make
actual flights of a few seconds. Pro
fessor Langley knew from the first thnt
If a small aerodrome would fly a larger
one wr.uld c'o so even more readily.
Minute (lying machines of various form
tind size were purchased or construct
ed by the secretary. Those which made
actual flights and which may be called
the direct ancestors of the aerodrome
which flew the other day the writer has
been allowed to examine and sketch.
The flrr.t tests were made with "me
chanical blrdr." Imported from France.
As early ss 1870 M. Penattd. a. rising
young Frenchman, Invented a "flying
screw," and during the ten years fol
lowing several winged devices which
supported themselves In the sir for a
few seconds. Penaud worked diligent
ly upon the problem unll 1889, when he
lost heart and died at less than thirty
years of age.
Another Frenchman named Plnchan
court continued to manufacture models
of Penaud's inventions, which he sold to
physicists. These were the devices
which Professor Langley Imported and
studied at the beginning of his devo
tion to the sub jiil, often Improving
them. Pvuaud had conceived the Idea
of utilising th energy stored In twbjted
rubber bands or strings. The eurlUst
of his Inventions bought by the profes
sor was a light wooden frame, or axio,
with a rrescvnt-Bhaped wing at olthor
end. These wings were mnde of double
thicknesses) of silk, cut to form trlungios
and fastened with tr.a corresponding
points overlapping, to give a spiral ef
fect. Many rubber strings Inside the frame
were previously twisted. As thiy un
wound tha wlnga revolved In opposite
dlrvct.ons. Prof, Langley altored this
device until he succeeded In making It
I.r1 as hl::h as th Smithsonian
builc.lng. Another of Penaud's Inven
tion wm a red twentv inches long,
supporting a rubber motor. Near the
loiitur luid ut rlvht anicios was a bow
shaped rod, revered with silk end
measuring fifteen inehes from tin to t!p.
In tho rear was c. screw propeller of two
pn,dil)n, Mctwccn llii- ind the haw
aeroplan r as a acl! r-.r.ds of an oval
lranie, mvtrcd with aiU, having a fin
rising at right nngKi, In a vrrt!i"il
plane. With this additional lllgbtweio
made and further lemons learned.
A MECHANICAL BIRD.
In l.i!9 rinchancourt had improved
upon the inventions of Penaud by con
structing a mechanical bird, with a
strong rubber motor revolving a trlplu
eccentric. This eccentric moved three
sets of levers, each fastened to a differ
ent part of the wings. Professor Lang
ley purchased one of these. It meas
ured fourteen and one-half Inches in
length and sixteen and one-half inches
from tip to tip of winjs, weighing about
one and one-half ounces. A similar
one, had previously flown seventy feet
in France against Ihe wind. Experi
ments with this added to the fast In
creasing knowledge of the laws of
Hlght.
Further studies were devoted to the
Strlngfellow ulrhslp, which hangs
above the historic John Bull train In the
National museum. In lMiX this hnd been
awarded the prize of $DU0 nt the Crystal
ptuuie, lvuuiiuii. it liit-n had the light
est steam ungiue, lu proportion to Its
power, ever made. It consists of three
aeroplanes, one above the other, and a
tall, tho whole weighing but twelve
pounds, with fuel and water. It tlcw,
suspended on a wire, but never Inde
pendently. combining the lescons ciemonstratea
by theso machines, as well as by the
whlrllug-tcblu. Secretary Langley,
about tho year 18, built for himself an
orlglnul mudel, differing from any other
which had prevlouly navigated the air.
Thin Is a direct ancestor of the la:tt
aerodrome, ami Its relationship may be
counted within a tew generations. It
measured 11 Inches In greatest length,
31 inches from tip to tip of widest wing.
It had two aeroplane rf thin silk, one
above the other, and a l ng and slender
tall, tinptd with a. safl of paper, made
cf thrse triangles. ymA.

The dlClcnlt prot l;m cow t) Ivj cnlvcd.
was the construction ot a nuffiricntiy
light and compact rt-,am (tretae, to re
place the rubber strings.
About this time an American Inven
tor named CopeJar.d hail beun to suc
ceed in building steam engines excell
ing all others In eomrbctness. One fi
nally built weighed te.s than tsn
pounds to one horse tiowcr. WlUi this
the secretary detrcr.iL"Stcd that t;ueh
an engine would support a weight of
over 200 pounds In the nir at a horl
sontal velocity of about forty-five
miles per hour and still more at a
higher velocity, the surface of the
aeroplanes being aO'irapaieiy in
creased In area or number, it was :.-ot
until the eventful Gth day or the preiCiit
month that one of these compact iltnvn
engines was arranged ucoa the aero
drome successfully.
It Is reasonably certain that aerial
flight, by mechanical u:eans, will be
practically successful within a few
years after Prof. Lanslcy lays bare all
of the details of his wonderful aero
drome. There are many engineers in
this and foreign countries who aft;r
some practice will be competent to build
a giant norodrome when given a small
model to fashion after. Tho highest au
thorities on aerodynamics agree that
the first practical adaption of the ve
hicle will be us a means of warfure.
ATTACKED ROM ABOVE.
Fortifications for which tTncle Sam
now proposes to expend millions would
be useless wrecks If attacked by such
vessels fashioned to drop explosives
aloft. Battleships would likewise be
to hit an aerodrome In this manner than
twinkling of an eye. Batter es on bind
would have to be devised for shooting
vertically, as birds are shot on the
wing. It would be much mure difficult
to hit on aerodrome In this manner than
a balloon, on account of the former's
much smaller surface and much greater
velocity.
A W3ll-Informcdaero1ynamlst whiox
pressed this view to the writer gave It
as his further belief that the speed of
aerodromes will some day reach as high
as 200 miles an hour. It would be very
difficult to hit one while In motion, and
if struck the chances are that a projec
tile would pass through It without Im
pairing Its flight. Aerodromes, he says
will not carry guns of present design
heavier than sixty to seventy pounds.
A successful aerodrome will doubtless
be able to run all day without renewing
fuel or water. If a sufficiently light con
denser can be perfected. Other mili
tary values of aerodromes will be their
uses as signaling apparatus, and as
observatories for Investigating the'
fortifications of an enemy.
Although Secretary Langley has Ig
nored the adaptation of buoyant gns
to his flying machine. It Is the opinion
of many that without this the airship
will never become a commercial suc
cess. Gas envelopes .would Impair the
speed of such a vehicle, however, and
make It a prey for tne wind. Still It Is
said that as his ascent Is continued the
aeronaut will sooner or Inter find some
air current blowing lu tho desired di
rection. An engineer who has paid great at
tention to the practical and economic
view of aerial navigation tells the
writer that It Is Improbable thnt any
system of airships can ever compete
successfully with railways or steam
ships, as far as short distances are con
cerned. Their use will be for shooting
over long distances quickly. Long
distance airship lines, he says, will ot
first compete only for passenger busi
ness, freight being carried more cheap
ly by rail or water.
There Is no reason, however, In his
opinion, why airships may not insure
as great comfort and safety as the
modern steamship. To lniure safety
the aerodrome of the future mutt be
provided with life bonis and a full
complement of parachutes. It must
have a reserve set of e'ngiiies and pro
pellers, nnd If a buoyant onevloo? be
used, there must be carried generators
for manufacturing gas enroute.
Hundreds of Inventors, anticipating
the succersful Invention of the airship,
have patented all sorts of devices for
aerlnl navigation. None, however, has
ever flown. Over 1U patents for air
ships have been granted by our gov
ernment. Almost all are for vessels
with the balloon attachment. None
resembles the Langley aerodrome In
principle.
