A BIRD'S EYE VIEW: The trailing edge flaps are divided into elevators and ailerons.
The Lippisch Delta I of 1930 was so called because of its swept-back leading edge and straight trailing edge.

The second AW 16, A-2, flying at Whitley Abbey in October 1931
In spite of its high powered radial air-cooled engine the A.W.XVI looks very clean even for a single-seater fighter. The height of the pilot's head shows that he had the seat in its top position when our photograph was taken.

THE SINGLE SEATER: The Armstrong-Whitworth A.W.XVI (Armstrong-Siddeley Jaguar Major). This three-quarter rear view shows off the clean lines of this fast machine to good advantage.

THE A.W.XVI: The well faired undercarriage and the efficient Townend ring engine cowling ate particularly noticeable in this view.

A CLEAN UNDERCARRIAGE: Both the Armstrong-Whitworth Atlas II and A.W.XVI have well faired undercarriages with "spats" over the wheels. Our sketch shows what an admirable result has been achieved.

The new brackets for holding on the Townend ring are shown on the right. The steel links A are flexible while the bushes B are of rubber and the pins C are a loose fit. The resulting flexibility has obviated cracking of the ring.

DETAILS THAT COUNT: Above, our artist shows how the tail lamp has been fitted snugly into the rudder, while below he depicts the method by which the tail plane has been faired to the fuselage of both the Atlas II and A.W.XVI.

OUT OF THE SLIPSTREAM: The electrical generators on these new Armstrong-Whitworth aircraft have been placed inside the fuselage fairing. Our sketch, here shows the generator for lighting and heating on the right-hand side of the machines. The view on the left illustrates the clean result when the fairing panel is over the generator and shows the two ventilators for keeping it cool.

IN HER NATIVE HOME: The Klemm Two-seater taken at Boblingen where Herr Klemm has his factory. The neat engine cowling of this model is made possible by the small overall dimensions of the Hirth motor, while it being inverted gives the pilot an excellent view. It has 4 cylinders and gives 80 h.p.

A LIGHTER LIGHT PLANE: We show above a novel mascot made by A. E. Lejeune, Ltd., of Gt. Portland St., W.I, and designed by Mr. R. A. Allan. It is a model of a D.H. "Puss Moth," about 7 in. span, made in the form of a cigarette lighter.

THE ATLAS II: Such points as the new rudder shape, the built-in tail lamp, the neat "slots," and general cleanliness make it immediately apparent as to where this efficient two-seater gets its performance.

BRISBANE TO ADELAIDE IN ONE DAY: Mr. F. H. Broadbent leaving Essenden (Melbourne) aerodrome after refuelling during his one-day solo flight through four States from Brisbane to Adelaide on August 12. This flight was made in a Sports "Avian," using Shell spirit.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Ford Tri-Motor / 4-AT / 5-AT - СШАUSA - 1926

SOLID BEAUTY: The 5AT is a very graceful machine and although quite fast - its top speed is 150 m.p.h. - does not, in consequence, lose its air of solid comfort. The centre engine will in future also have a Townend ring type of cowling around it.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Ford Tri-Motor / 4-AT / 5-AT - СШАUSA - 1926

DETAILS THAT COUNT: Great attention has been paid to the streamlining of such details as the undercarriage on the 5AT Pullman. The way in which the radius rod and axle are faired into the "spat" is shown very clearly in these pictures.

FAIRING A "MOTH." - Mr. Ralph Kenyon, of Newtonville, Mass., U.S.A., writing to the de Havilland Co., claims marked improvements in the performance of an English "Moth" he has streamlined-up. Having built a false bottom to the fuselage, and faired all strut fittings, all landing gear fittings, the petrol tank into the wings, the wings into the fuselage, the headrest into the fin, bridged the gaps in the ailerons, elevators and rudder, and constructed a detachable front cockpit cover and windshield, he has obtained a top speed of 134 m.p.h. and a cruising speed of 120 m.p.h. The take-off and stalling speeds, he says, were not noticeably impaired, but the gliding ratio was increased. The accompanying illustration shows an American "Moth" thus treated.

WELL UP: The little Scud caused a lot of enthusiasm for British built gliders at the recent International Glider Meeting at Balsdean. F. O. Mole made several excellent flights on it and E. D.
