Bigger Flying Boats Due in Aviation

In a June 23 report from Ron Ohio Dr J C Hansener chair of the national secessory committee for aeronautics outlines aviation’s future. Giant land planes will lag while bigger flying boats may arrive sooner and turbine engines using hot gases will power major advances. Dr Hunsaker cites landing gear as the barrier to huge planes and six engine designs as likely soon. Engines above 2000 horsepower will be required for larger craft with 3000 horsepower feasible and 3600 hp via 24 to 38 cylinder engines. Gas turbine gains and large diesels may shape engines for long haul air travel.
