ESSENTIAL IN
I TRAMEA TRIP
Thinks Hawker Too Optimistic
About Airplane Flight Across
Atlantic; Must Be Made
In Twenty-four Hours.
BY ROBERT WELLES RITCHIE
Universal Service Staff Correspond
ent London, Aprit 4. (Special Cable
Dispatch.) An amazing combina
tion of the human with the mechan
ical machine alone will spell suc
cess for the transatlantic flight now
contemplated, according to Major C,
C Turner, long distance flight ex
pert in the British air ministry, inw
terviewed by Universal Service to
day. Since the attempt by Harry Haw
ker with a two-seater from New
foundland is reported likely to be
made any day, I sought comments
from eminent British aeronautical
experts. All agreed that whoever
makes the initial attempt must have
daring comparable to that of six
teenth century explorers. Major
Turner said: .
( "Hawker and his navigator, Com
mander MacKenzie Grieve, are con
fronted with perils no smaller than
those faced by Cabot and other early
adventurers crossing the Atlantic.
They require amazing physical and
mental endurance in short the
whole problem is that of endurance
on the part both of pilots and the
engine.
"The present record, I believe, Is
24 hours and 12 minutes in endur
ance flights. , i
Over Optimistic
"I believe Hawker is over opti
mistic in his statement he will make
the flight from coast to coast in 24
hours. Aside-from the human ele
ment, the ihing equal in importance
is the engine. An engine which will
carry on 24 hours without' a hitch
at top speed must be perfect in
every detail.
"Remember In a trans-sea flight
there is no way to repair a faulty
engine except dropping into trie
waves, and that spells failure for all
except the flying boat. Even a fly
ing boat would be unable to rise
from a roueh sea.
"After the question of the endur
ance of the pilots and the engine re
mains the problem of keeping the
course. The compass course having
first been calculated with respect to
the strength and the direction of the
wind, will have to be kept, but this
Ann nnt insure safety unless the
amount of drift can be ascertained,
nH tha wind estimate' may be unre
liable. Knowledge of the stars is
,of very little help in night tlying.
"Grieve's knowledge of the steam
ship tracks. will prove invaluable in
keeping a direct course. At night
time the dare from a funnel can be
seen at a long dUtanqe, and the air
adventurers will carry flares to sig
' nal ships, so the latter will report by
wireless their passing.
Hard to Keep Balance.
"One curious feature will have to
be guarded against. It is well known
that pilots flying at any time over
water are greatly troubled by loss
of the sense of balance. With the
flat plane below unvarying in its
rontour. the oilot does not have any
object by which to make a compar-
ISOn Ot nlS relative parauci wim
sea. This gradually becomes weary
ing, and the only correction possible
is to concentrate the mind and the
vision upon the instruments in me
"Grieve, who is not thought as
experienced a pilot as Hawker, will
have to relieve the latter at the
wheel when weariness overcomes
"Don't gather from these remarks
that I am unduly pessimistic, i am
ni ttincr forth the manifest dif
ficulties and I believe Hawker's
chances are most nopeiui. in iaci,
I see no reason wny, Deiore mm
fiminfr three or four transatlan
tic "flights should not have been
achieved. .....
"T helieve that one or both of the
admiralty's newest and greatest air
shipsthe R-33 and R-34 will sue-
ceea in uic uumi mivmyi..
Exoects Success.
C, Handley Page, the inventor,
said to Universal Service tonight:
"T meet the first fiver starting
from Newfoundland will successful
ly cross if the weather is m any
degree favorable, but he must make
the trip within 24 hours, because he
is unable to rely on continuous en
gine performances above that.
''The rivalry between British and
American fivers will develop an in-
WMtincr sidelieht. -namely the rela
tive values of the Rolls-Royce
and IJhertr eneines. All Brit
ish entrants are equipped with Rolls-
Royce engines, wnne an Americans
hav T.ibrrtv motors. The trans
atlantic passage never will be se
cure until airplanes are equippea
I with sufficient engines to permit one
being cut out at any time.
