Like its civil predecessor, the new Vultee has an inwardly retracting undercarriage. This view shows the "German" tail unit to advantage.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Vultee V-11 - СШАUSA - 1935

This sketch of the roomy pilot's cockpit of the Vultee attack-bomber shows that, despite the profusion of "gadgets," an orderly layout has been attained.

CRANWELL: A fine aerial impression of Hawker Harts flying over the R.A.F. Cadet College at Cranwell. In common with that of other R.A.F. centres, the work of the College has been considerably increased by the expansion. Not only are flight cadets turned out as permanent officers, but university candidates for commissions go through a course there.

LESS AND LESS: The Martin and Sikorsky companies have lately produced flying boats of startling aerodynamic efficiency and now the Consolidated company has contributed to the concerted "cleaning up" by making provision in this new P3Y-1 patrol boat for the floats to be hoisted up in flight to form the tips of the wing. Incidentally, this is the boat which made the fine Panama-'Frisco flight recorded on this page last week. Sixty of these machines are being built for the U.S. Navy.

MAKING UP HIS MIND: After finding that half the undercarriage of his Boeing had attempted to sever all connections with the machine, this U.S. Army pilot cruised round for 2 1/2 hours trying to decide if he should try to land it or make an exit with his Irvin. He chose the latter course.

SHINING BLADES FOR NORWAY: Three of a batch of four Panther-engined A.W. Scimitar fighters which is soon to be delivered to Norway, The Norwegian Government has secured the licence to build further machines of this type.

A COMMUTING SHIP - or what we should know as a business man's aeroplane, is the Boeing 247D of the American Phillips Petroleum Company. Here an official of that company is seen using an inter-'phone RT set to talk to ground wireless stations. The equipment can be used, in addition, for communication between the cabin and the pilots' compartment.

RECORD BREAKERS ON SHOW: Among the exhibits at the Milan International Aircraft Exhibition, which opened on October 12, are the Macchi-Castoldi which did 440.67 m.p.h., the Cant. 501 seaplane which recently flew 3,104 miles non-stop, and what appears to be a two-seater version of the Caproni biplane which holds the altitude record. The monoplane in the background is the new Potez light transport.

THE NEWEST JUNKERS: Well-tried Junkers features are retained in the Ju. 86, a ten-passenger twin-engined high-speed machine which will be put into service by D.L.H. next year. The stressed skin is, however, smooth in this machine, which has a maximum speed of 225 m.p.h.

The Attack: Dive bombing has recently been added to the functions of army co-operation squadrons. Here the two leading "Audax" machines are beginning to "cartwheel" in turn into the dive.

The Fokker C X two-seater fighter, bomber, reconnaissance machine, or what you will, fitted with the 600/640 h.p. Rolls-Royce Kestrel V. Alternative engines are the Hispano Suiza Ydrs, Bristol Pegasus IV and Gnome Rhone 14 Krsf Mistral Major. The performance with the two foreign engines is rather higher, but not sufficiently so, it would seem, to outweigh the very much shorter range. With the Hispano this is 410 miles, compared with 515 from the Kestrel. The more powerful engine gives 214 m.p.h. at 13,000 ft, whereas the Kestrel gives 199 m.p.h. at 14,000 ft.

The layout of the Loire 21 fleet fighter seaplane is of unusual interest. A 750 h.p. Hispano-Suiza 9 Vbrs. nine-cylinder radial (Wright Cyclone built under licence) is the power plant and drives a controllable-pitch airscrew.

In spite of its wide fuselage, the Phoenix is very "clean." This photograph also gives a good idea of the pilot's view.

In the cabin: The instruments are grouped in front of the port seat. On the right is a large locker for maps. Note the "swing-over" control.

This sketch of the front portion of the Phoenix shows the construction of wing, wing stump and fuselage. The petrol tanks are carried in the wing on special strengthened ribs. The front part of the fuselage has a girder structure while the rear is monocoque. Details of a wing-stub spar are shown in the smaller sketch.

The cantilever tail is of wood construction, and a metal fairing (not shown) terminates the fuselage. Note the trimming "tab" on the port elevator only.

Downswept wing roots are the most noticeable innovation in the latest German Klemm.

THE LATEST KLEMM: The clean "frontage" of the new German Klemm Kl.35 (70-80 h.p. Hirth H.M. 60R. engine) is apparent in this view.

The pivoted wing is not entirely free to rock around its longitudinal axis, but is restrained by two diagonal telescopic struts.

Despite its somewhat conservative layout "Alpar's" new Koolhoven is a credit to its constructors aerodynamically and structurally

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Koolhoven FK-50 - НидерландыNetherlands - 1935

Perhaps the most striking external features of the new Koolhoven F.K.50 are the cowlings over the Wasp Juniors. They are, supposedly, conducive to a good airflow. The outlook for crew and passengers is exceptionally good.

IS CURTISS RIGHT? This, the new Curtiss-Wright Sparrow is that company's idea of an aeroplane for the masses. No one will deny that it has numerous attractive features - side-by-side seats, a creditable performance and good speed range. The fixed slots may be seen to advantage in this photograph.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Curtiss-Wright CW-19 Sparrow - СШАUSA - 1935

Two outstanding features from the aerodynamic standpoint are the fixed slots and the ailerons, which are locked against downward travel past the neutral position.

RELIANT: The latest Stinson Reliant photographed outside Rollason's shops at Croydon soon after it had been assembled for Brian Allen Aviation, who are the sole distributors in this country. This new model has pneumatically operated flaps and a Smith v.p. airscrew as well as improved internal fittings

Clean aerodynamic design endows the Short Scion Senior with a good performance in spite of the relatively low power (four Pobjoy Niagara engines of 90 h.p. each). The top centre photograph on this page affords an interesting comparison between ancient and modern transport on the Medway, at Rochester.

A REPLACEMENT: For eight years the old Fairchild 71's have been doing yeoman service in Canada. Now an improved type has been produced for the Canadian market a direct development of the 71. It has a Wasp T1D1 engine, can be employed as landplane or seaplane, and has a top speed, in the former guise, of 150 m.p.h., with 2,940 lb. of disposable load.

In the nose and tail of the A.W. XXIII there is an Armstrong-Whitworth revolving gun turret. The position from which this photograph was taken - the gunner's cockpit in a following machine - would be by no means an enviable one in time of war.

A SERVICE HEAVYWEIGHT. The Armstrong Whitworth bomber transport monoplane flies high and fast, presenting a magnificent "shot" for Flight's photographer. With two Siddeley Tiger VI engines not only does the machine possess remarkable weight-carrying properties, but it is extremely fast for an aircraft in its class and has, in addition, a long range.
