Radio Advances Put Flying Toward Popular Air Travel
Radio is advancing toward making flying as common as motoring. Lighter planes and smaller engines are still being tested while helicopters lag. Radio guides coast to coast airmail pilots by day and night, keeping pilots in direct contact with land through two way conversations. Washington and Dayton tests link radio to aircraft with four tube transmitters and super heterodyne receivers, suggesting future compact systems. A directional beacon allows a pilot to follow a land reference without sight, ensuring a continuous contact with land as flights progress.
