Air Flivver Can Do It
New York.—A hum]red and twenty
five tnilep on a gallon of gas, yo ho,
and a bottle of motor oil!
In other words, the distance from

The “flying Ford,” as aviators have
dubbed the miniature plane invented
by Georges Barbot, French aviator,
who has brought it to this country for
demonstration, is very ^fiall and ex
tremely simple in appearance.
I s wing sweep is only 40 feet, and
the machine carries a Olerget seveD
horsepower motorcycle engine, two
cylinder, weighing only 35 pounds.
Barbot’s aeroplane possesses all the
.characteristics of modern aeroplanes,
except the high cost of operation. Be
can flv at a speed of 10 miles an hour,
or at 70 miles au hour.
He is able to land his ship at 10
miles an hour, and in an unusually
small field, eliminating at one stroke
Ithe d vtigers of landing fast ships and of
tiie scarcity of landing fields.
Present day American aeroplanes !
usually kind at speeds ranging from 45
miles an hour up and require 500 yards
of landing space.
The ship was designed by Emile De
wottioe, and is called the “Dewoiune
inotoravieote.” It is being studied by
army and navy experts with a view to
adopting- it for military use.
