PARACHUTE
A
new
invention
known
as
the
"Isacco
Telescopic
Propellers"
has
been
developed
In
England,
which
is
hoped
will
constitute
the
basic
Invention
for
various
safety
devices
urgently
required
today
for
civil
aviation.
The
apparatus
consists
of
a
telescopic
rotor,
and
is
thought
will
supercede
the
parachute
at
present
in
use.
Not
only
is
an
individual
parachute
made1
for
personnel,
but
there
Is
also
a
cabin,
or
heavy-weight
parachute,
whi
ch
represents
the
solution
for
a
collective
parachute,
and
will
support
a
cabin
able
to
carry
four
to
six
passengers.
An
advantage
over
the
normal
'chute
is
that
the
direction
of

be
controlled.
