Australian aeroplane design eyed for trial in London
Major C C Turner in the Daily Telegraph notes a late war Australian aeroplane design that warrants trial. In model form it weighs about 3 cwt and has flown over 20 unmanned flights with a 6 hp engine, landing safely each time. The plan is a large passenger carrier with passengers housed away from engines, using a self balancing principle that worked in models and may aid full sized success.
