THE "TIGER MOTH" ON FLOATS: In the description of the De Havilland "Tiger Moth" Training Machine (Gipsy III engine), published in "Flight" of November 13, 1931, we included a side elevation drawing showing the machine fitted with floats and, alternatively, wheels. A set of floats has now been made for it by Short Brothers, and our photograph shows the machine in one of the shops at Stag Lane. It will be seen that the "Tiger Moth" makes quite an attractive-looking seaplane.

A NEW FORD TYPE: The 14-A is of unusual design and equipped for carrying passengers by night as well as by day. The central engine is a Hispano-Suiza rated at 1,100 h.p., while the wing engines, of the same make, are of 715 h.p. each. The wing engines are housed in the wing, while the central engine is placed in a streamline tower above the wing. The wing span is 110 ft. and the area 1,600 sq. ft. It carries 38 passengers at an estimated cruising speed of 150 m.p.h.

ON THE ST.4: The trailing portion of the wing roots hinges up alongside the fuselage to allow of folding the wings. It is in this portion of the wing that the lifting of the trailing edge occurs, the object being to reduce interference drag. A step on the trailing edge facilitates getting into and out of the cabin.

FLIGHT-TESTING THE NEW NAPIER ENGINE: The first of these engines (6-cylinder in line air cooled, 150 h.p.) has been built into a "Spartan" aeroplane for the purpose of extensive flying tests. The machine is likely to visit, during the test period, several British aerodromes, and readers are advised to bear in mind the registration letters G-ABST. By way of mnemonic assistance we would suggest British Summer Time.

THE AMERICAN COUNTERPART: The full-scale wind tunnel at Langley Laboratory gives an air stream 60 ft. wide by 30 ft. high. One of the 35-ft. diameter four-bladed airscrews can be seen. It is driven by an electric motor of 4,000 h.p. The aircraft is supported on a six-component balance.

FULL SCALE RESEARCH: This photograph of the new large wind tunnel at Langley Field, Virginia, has been very kindly lent to us by Mr. John J. Ide, Technical Assistant in Europe of the American N.A.C.A. The tunnel is of the open type, and the aeroplane is supported on a six-component balance by means of struts in the centre of an airstream 60 ft. wide and 30 ft. high. The four-bladed propellers which circulate the air are of 35 1/2 ft. diameter, and each is driven by an electric motor of 4,000 h.p. the high figure of 112 m.p.h. The machine under test is a Loening flying boat.

DETAILS OF WING AND UNDERCARRIAGE: This photograph gives a good idea of the construction of the single spar, which is a girder built up of box-section booms and struts. The telescopic leg of the undercarriage is attached to the spar, and housed inside the wing. The other lugs seen are for the support of the engine mounting.
Самолёты на фотографии: Breda Ba.32 - Италия - 1931

CAREFUL FAIRING: The wing engines of the Breda 32 are well cowled in, and the undercarriage has been streamlined by "spats" rigidly fixed to, and moving with, the wheel. On the right is a sketch showing how the metal skin is stiffened by "blisters."

OF BIRD-LIKE PROPORTIONS: A three-quarter rear view of the Nyborg sailplane. The designer is standing by the right-hand wing tip and his assistant, Mr. H. Green, is in front. The dimensions are :- Area, 45 sq. ft.; span, 32 ft.; chord, 16 in.; weight, 370 lb., including 150 lb. for the pilot; the gliding angle at 57 m.p.h., according to Mr. Nyborg's calculations, should be about 1 : 54. The large rudder is being used temporarily for auto-towing, and if possible will later be discarded for a much smaller one which will be assisted in obtaining directional control by two small drag-producing flaps under each wing-tip. The trailing edge of the wing inside the aileron is divided into three flaps on each side which can be used for increasing the effective camber and as air brakes.

HIGH ASPECT RATIO: A front view of the Nyborg sailplane which gives a good idea of its narrow chord wings. Mr. T. G. Nyborg is on the left, Mr. H. Green on the right, and the pilot in the cockpit is Mr. L. C. Williams. The wing spar is a solid 4 in. by 3 in. spruce beam tapered from the root and the wing is plywood covered. To obtain his design Mr. Nyborg has scaled up the best soaring birds, thus his sailplane has the same loading and dimensions one would expect, say, an albatross of the same weight to have.
