Flivver Plane Fails Short Of Gas On Long Flight
Pilot Harry Brooke of the Fordflivver, under the National Aeronautic Association, reportedly broke the world record for planes of 40 horsepower or less but ran out of gas slightly beyond 100 miles from start. The record of 871 miles by Max Kupping remains, with Brooke’s route deviating toward Miami to avoid North Carolina peaks, a distance the association notes only the air line between departure and landing counts. The Fordflivver, a small plane with a 26 foot span, five foot height, 16 foot length, 550 pound weight, 52.5 gallon tank and 1.88 pound lifting power, is part of early air venture development.
