Murray Robinson and Bill Davidson are the proud possessors of a 40 hp, Taylorcraft : | which will give them many hours of free flying. tinuing from our column of k, another common question is the speed and gasoline con- fon of an aircraft, Before discussing speed, we would like to pou out a few facts which must e taken into consideration. In flying, the relative wind speed and direction have a direct affect on the aircraft's speed and diret- tion. A balloon for instance, travels without means of propulsion, over the earth in the direction and the speed of the prevailing wind, An aircraft reacts in the same man- ner, If you are travelling directly down wind your speed over the ated air speed lus the speed of the wind, In velling into wind your speed over the ground or ground speed is less than the indicated air speed by the amount of wind speed. Crosswinds have a large affect on direction and have to be taken into consideration when proceeding on any cross country flight, Consequently, from the above it can be seen that it is difficult to quote gasoline consumption in miles per gallon as in automobile driving unless it is considered that the air- craft is travelling in a condition of no wind whatsoever, Gasoline con- sumption is therefore most com- m expressed in gallons per hour. By a simple navigation com- tation, it can be ascertained if aircraft has sufficient gasgline "| for the trip. Consumption on light aircraft varies from 3 to 6 gallons per hour depending on the horsepower of the motor. Safe endurance time in the air per tankfull of gasoline averages from 2% to 3% hours, Sen cere nam------------ PROPOSE NEW BRIDGE FOR FIRTH OF FORTH Edinburgh, Aug, 8--(CP)--More than 3,000 vehicles dally would pass over a proposed road bridge over the Firth of Forth, sald Sir Fred- erick Cook, formerly chief engineer of the transport ministry, This traffic would come from ad- Jacent districts and would not take into account long distance traffic.
