Baldwin Balloon Voyage Lands Near Cahokia After Overwater Flight
Experts say the Baldwin airship shows promise of full dirigible conversion. Pilot Kunbansue, a 27 year old electrical engineer from Pailedo Ohio, steered over the fairgrounds when engine failed, risking destruction as breeze carried the craft to a corn field near Cahokia. The cigar shaped Japanese silk craft measures 54 by 17 feet, uses 8,000 cubic feet of gas, with a 30 foot frame and a seven horsepower gasoline engine delivering 2,000 RPM. Future adjustments expected to stabilize steering and propulsion.
