...wants from the eight leading U. S. firms that build big airplanes a machine delivered within three years that will fly 5,000 mi. non-stop at 200 m.p.h. at altitudes up to 20,000 ft. and carry a payload of 25,000 Ib. in which is included full day and night accommodation for 100 passengers, crew of 16, mail, baggage and express. Six months from now if Colonel Lindbergh and P. A. A. are still interested, $35,000 will be allotted to cover the cost to the builders of further estimates. As nothing a third the size has ever...
...father has called an "idealist" (TIME, Oct.-n), reached less violently for laurels as he zoomed a tri-motor Savoia-Marchetti transport airplane over a 621 mi. (1,000 km.) closed circuit course breaking three speed records for planes carrying up to 4,409 (2,000 kg.) Ib. payload. His speed was 267 m.p.h., four miles faster than the previous record which he himself established last July. With him flew his flying instructor, Squadron-Commander Colonnello Attilio Biseo, who when in Rome acts as personal pilot to his pupil's father...
...Italy's new "bosom friend" Germany made an announcement. With great satisfaction in a matter "particularly interesting," Berlin announced that Flight Captain Gerhard Nitschke, 32-year-old chief pilot of the Heinkel Airplane Works, had just flown a two-motored Heinkel-Benz airplane 621 miles, with a payload of 2,204 lb-(1,000 kg.) at a speed of 313 m.p.h.-46 m.p.h. faster than young Mussolini's record for the same weight at the same distance; leaving Bruno for the moment with only the 1,100 (500 kg.) and 4,409 lb. (2,000 kg.) payload marks...
...lined with mirrors, lifts to expose several wash basins. Aft and below are mail and cargo holds, quarters for the crew of ten. Its four motors mounted on the wings are Wright "Cyclones," 1,000 h.p. each, which give the plane a range of 4,500 miles carrying a payload of 7,500 Ib. and a maximum speed of 200 m.p.h. At its cruising speed, around 150 m.p.h., the 3,465-mile flight to London would take about 23 hours, leave enough fuel for 1,000 miles more...
...inauguration last week of the third year of Pan American's Pacific air mail service, the new Martin Ocean Transport claims two points of advance in air travel. It is the first fully commercial airplane capable of negotiating the Atlantic nonstop; for its size, weight and power, its payload is more than that of any other transport. Designer Martin already has on his drawing boards plans of a 118,000-lb. ocean transport, which will carry 100 passengers, sleep 66. Reported purchaser: American Export Air Line's, prospective affiliate of American Export Lines, whose ships will fly between...
