ABNORMAL FLYING STUNTS AND SPEEDS


"PEQUOD, a Frenchman, yesterday repeatedly
performed the remarkable feat of flying with the
machine upside down. This exhibition shows
that the age of perfection has arrived in flying
machines, and that stability is an accomplished
fact."--News item.


This is quoted to show how little the general
public knows of the subject of aviation. It correctly
represents the achievement of the aviator,
and it probably voiced the sentiment of many
scientific men, as well as of the great majority of
aviators.

A few days afterwards, the same newspaper
published the following:


"Lieutenant ----, while experimenting yesterday
morning, met his death by the overturning
of his machine at an altitude of 300 meters.
Death was instantaneous, and the machine was
completely destroyed."

The machines used by the two men were of the
same manufacture, as Pequod used a stock machine
which was strongly braced to support the
inverted weight, but otherwise it was not unlike
the well known type of monoplane.

Beachy has since repeated the experiment with
a bi-plane, and it is a feat which has many imitators,
and while those remarkable exhibitions
are going on, one catastrophe follows the other
with the same regularity as in the past.

Let us consider this phase of flying. Are they
of any value, and wherein do they teach anything
that may be utilized,

LACK OF IMPROVEMENTS IN MACHINES.--It is remarkable
that not one single forward step has
been taken to improve the type of flying machines
for the past five years. They possess the same
shape, their stabilizing qualities and mechanism
for assuring stability are still the same.

MEN EXPEDITED, AND NOT THE MACHINE.--The
fact is, that during this period the man has been
exploited and not the machine. Men have learned,
some few of them, to perform peculiar stunts,
such as looping the loop, the side glide, the drop,
and other features, which look, and are, hazardous,
all of which pander to the sentiments of the spectators.
