FOUR BLADED V.P.: One of the first pictures of the new Curtiss four-bladed variable-pitch airscrew. It is shown installed on the Twin Wasp engine of a Curtiss P-36A pursuit machine. This installation is of particular interest in view the fact that increasingly powerful engines are being installed in fighters, and airscrew ground clearance is becoming a big problem.

A NEW GERMAN BOMBER: A revised version of the Heinkel He.111 bomber is in service with the Luftwaffe as shown in these views secured during the recent German exercises. It has a shorter, roomier nose and an external lower gun position or observation post. The engines can be Daimler Benz D.601s or Junkers Ju.211s.

Регистрационный номер: NC19452 THE LATEST BEECH: Various changes are noticeable in the new 18S Beechcraft which has 450 h.p. Wasp Junior engines and constant-speed airscrews. The design of the tail has been modified to provide an even better single-engined performance as far as piloting is concerned, but the most interesting feature of the Wasp Junior-engined Beech is the design of the cowlings with a smooth contour which not only reduces resistance, but also gives an even flow over the upper surface the wing. No air is discharged above, the cooling being regulated by means of flaps on the lower half of the cowling.

NASAL ARCHITECTURE: A fine aerial study ol the nose of a Douglas B18-A bomber (two Wright Cyclones) of the U.S. Army Air Corps. A machine gun is installed in the spherical mounting below the projecting "transparency" which houses the bomb aimer The bomb traps in the belly of the fuselage are also visible. This type of Douglas is used extensively by America, but even with the two-speed supercharged Cyclones it is believed to be inferior in performance to the Whitley V or Wellington I - which is understandable, as the American type is quite an old adaptation of the DC-2 transport.

A NAVAL FIGHTER DIVE-BOMBER. Large numbers of Blackburn Skua I naval fighter dive-bombers, fitted with the Bristol Perseus XII nine-cylinder sleeve-valve engine, have already been delivered to units of the Fleet Air Arm. It has lately become permissible to disclose many of the unusually interesting features of the Skua, the majority of which are revealed in this specially prepared Flight drawing. The Skua has special flaps which not only improve the take-off and steepen the glide, but limit the diving speed to 220 knots.

Only one is actually needed, but the second has been shipped over for use in case of emergency or minor accident. For Caribou's initial return crossing the refuelling equipment was not used, as a following wind and good conditions meant that the machine would reach not only Foynes, but also Southampton, without the necessity for topping up.

The machine, carrying 1,055 lb. of mail, reached Newfoundland at 10.10 p.m. (G.M.T.) on Saturday and was due to leave New York, on the return flight, yesterday.

Регистрационный номер: D-ADFJ ANGLE 2: Due to the perspective it is difficult to reconcile this view of the Ju.90 with that shown above. It shows among other things, the Junkers so-called “double-wing” arrangement.

Регистрационный номер: YL-ABS The clean lines of the V.E.F. are obvious in this photograph, taken during the Isle of Man races. The ailerons do not, as they appear, extend from centre section to wing tip - the inner portions are slotted flaps.

THE BIG BOEING DEVELOPED: A view of the latest version of the four-engined Boeing bomber, which is known as the B-17. Compared with the ordinary B-17 it has a revised nose and engine nacelles and its Wright Cyclone engines drive turbo superchargers. The type is in production for the U.S. Army Air Corps.

A good idea of the layout and comparative spaciousness of the two-seater cabin is obtainable from this drawing. Luggage is carried behind the squab. The neatness of the control and instrument layout is particularly noteworthy.

A separate trimmong surface is used in the Taylorcraft; this can be seen, in "gliding" position, below the tailplane. Notice the inspection zips and the lifting handle on the right.

An artist’s somewhat impressionistic idea of how the Asboth helicopter will appear in flight.

A retractable tricycle undercarriage is one of the features of the Asboth A.H.X. The 39 ft. dia. rotor blades are set rigidly at an angle corresponding to the resultant between lift and centrifugal force, and have no flapping hinges.

The front elevation of the A.H.X on the left shows the faired beam which carries the controlling surfaces and houses the retracted undercarriage. From the plan view (above) it will be seen that the rotor blades are of relatively low aspect ratio.

FAST AND FAR: The French Amiot 370 (two special Hispano Suiza 12Y engines) in which M. Rosse, on an unsuccessful attempt to break the world’s speed record for 10,000 km. and the record for distance in a closed circuit (now held by Japan), averaged more than 186 m.p.h. for 3,728 miles. The Japanese record is 115.5 m.p.h. for about 6,876 miles. The Amiot took off at a weight of 22,217. It is generally similar to a type of bomber now in production for l’Armee de l’Air.

PRIVATE FLYING, CIRCA 1910: There may or may not be lessons for present-day light aeroplane designers in this special Bleriot built for M. Deutsch de la Meurthe with the enclosed cabin, the open-air, brougham-esque position of the driver (his column can just be seen) and the forward elevator. It did actually fly, air resistance notwithstanding, on a very doubtful 100 h.p.

ORIGINAL EMPENNAGE: The tail of Lt. Stanley's sailplane Nomad, which broke the American altitude record (and a wing) at the recent Elmira meet. The movable surfaces act, through a differential mechanism, both as elevators and rudders.
