Air heat clears fog at airfields in small tests
Artificial warming of the air over landing fields is explored as a fog clearing method. Experiments report 200 yard diameter clearings using heat from coal or other sources. Lieut. Albert E. Hegenberger notes questions of commercial scalability and heat loss. Theoretical coal consumption suggests 13 tons per hour for a 400 yard square area, but practical needs may be higher.
