Dual Air Craft Combines Dirigible and Airplane Design
Theodore B. Hedlund reports J D Drennan of Northboro and Walter Deming of Philadelphia designing a hybrid craft blending lighter than air buoyancy with airplane speed. The ship uses gas to reduce weight while delivering lifting power and stability from the dirigible portion and forward speed from the airplane. Negotiations with capitalists aim to mass produce these multi ton, high speed craft as aerial mail and army pilots adapt to snowbound conditions. Ski equipped planes from the International Aircraft Corporation spark a new ski manufacturing demand and promise shorter takeoffs and smoother landings without compromising stability.
