Flying ship Aereon makes second experimental voyage
The flying ship Aereon by Professor Andrews of New York completed a second trial on the Gi of June with Mr Plumb aboard. After initial steering issues and adjustments, the craft rose toward 6,000 feet, drifted with currents, and finally descended toward the island. Andrews believes he has grasped a governing principle for air navigation and plans a longer car to prove gravitation as the motive power.
