Revolutionary cargo fighter carrier eyed by Air Corps engineers
Washington engineers Horace Chapman Young and Eric Langlands of Aerodynamics Research Corp told Senate subcommittee members that a single-wing cargo fighter carrier could lift 12 planes from a 180 to 200 foot deck using helium gas and air tunnels. The design would carry 26 tons of helium and 70 tons total with engines driving propellers. A semivacuum in four tunnels would provide suction and thrust, and in engine failure the craft could dump cargo and fuel while helium kept it aloft.
