PRINCE RUPERT, B.C., TUESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1932 COMPLICA TIONS REPUBLIC STILL FLY OVER . ATLANTIC1 Huge Passenger Aircraft For 21- Hour Air Service Being P.uilt Changes Coming Construct Special Slipway For Erection of Planes Too Big For Indoor Construction LONDON. Jan. 19: Dramatic hanges in world transport and communications are foreshadowed In the building, on the banks of the River Medway at Rochester, Kent, of a slipway where flying boats larger than any yet to take the air may be erected and launched. ; Aided by the extensive develop-; ment of metal construction ineth-: oda, which have removed Umita-! Hons Inevitably prevailing when wood was the material on which the ; aircraft builder chiefly depended,! flying boat designers have planned during the last few years craft worthy Indeed to be styled "flying ships," and there Is no Indication that the process, cf growth Is. yet. ended. Two air boats now under construction in British factories' will each weigh when fully loaded no less than 30-35 tons, and considerably larger vessels, up to 90-100 tons, are contemplated. Flying machines of this order of size cannot be erected Inside the largest sheds. Their overall height from keel to the top of the super structure Is too great. Already the company responsible for the new slipway has had difficulty In build ing big three-englned boats with a gross weight of 18 tons inside the shed at the Rochester works. In future the hull of new flying ships will be constructed within the hangar and the work of erection. Including attachment of the sunperstructure of wings, power plant installation and so forth, done on the slipway, from which the big machine will ultimately be launched. Thus one branch of aero nautical engineering Is fast coming to resemble marine construction, and flying boat "yards" promise soon to rank with the shipyards. From the aircraft slipways will move a succession of big craft, able to cruise thousands of miles non stop and to carry a heavy load swiftly and safely along the world's sea routes. In the perfection of these big marine aircraft lies perhaps the greatest promise for the future, of long distance airways. More efficient and faster than the airship, they should be able to operate regular service all over the world before many more years have elapsed.
