THE NEW EAGLE: During the past few months British Aircraft have been trying out a new version of the well-known Eagle. This has a fixed undercarriage, and, for those who prefer to be relieved of retractable responsibility, the machine has certain definite advantages. The greater virtual wing-area and the decreased drag have resulted in a considerably improved take-off and a slower landing, while the causing speed (at 2,000 r.p.m.) is still rather better than 120 m.p.h.

DUAL PURPOSE: The much-talked-of Pitcairn "Roadable" Autogiro in its latest form. The Pobjoy Niagara which powers the machine is installed "on its side" in the fuselage and is cooled by special air-ducts. Curiously enough, the machine does not appear to be quite as fast as it was when the engine was mounted conventionally in the nose. Probably the air-duct system introduces new air-flow problems.
