Italian inventor proposes twin side propellers for aeroplane stability
Chief mechanician Lawson told a Post reporter that an Italian visitor from Salem brought blue prints for a patented idea to improve lateral stability. The plan uses two smaller propellers driven by engine exhaust via flexible shafts placed beside the main propeller to keep the craft on an even keel, potentially replacing wing ailerons.
