London, Jan. 14—Eclipsing the fantasies of Jules Verne or H. G. Wells, Britain's mammoth air liner, the RIO, to indulge in the air early next summer.
A series of short trial flights will be on the christening and then it is planned to fly from New York to it is proposed to make a descent for the purpose of embarking passengers.
The Journey will unobstructed by the most spectacular yet undertaken in the history of modern aviation, and the Americans who have already booked reservations will participate in an inaugural flight destined to be a historic carriage carrying the regular passenger-carrying aircraft between the Old and New Worlds.
popular in the United States. Americans who have opportunity of viewing the B100 when it arrives in New York will be litterally astonished at its construction.
Has Spectacular Appearance
Its appearance gives the idea of
a floating miniature skyscraper. It completely dwarfs any previous aircraft. It is 214 feet long and 198 feet wide. The aircraft provide accommodation for 106 passengers and a crew of 50.
Comparable to a modern hotel, the ship is warmed and lighted by electricity, which also serves to cook the food. One deck contains a dinning accommodation For 36 passengers, kitchen, and two and four-bath cubes.
The dining-room can be converted into a dance hall, and raucators can be seated on lounges on a balcony above and be able to watch passengers walk around the room with feet. Broadcast wireless and gramophones will provide the music.
Safety of Passengers Assured
The safety of passengers is a feature in the construction. The walls of the column consist of tough fabric made from polyethylene and many of duratium, a light and strong material of the vessel is built.
Two wide verandas round the entire circumference of this flying hotel, enclosed with siding glass windows and covered by a 20-meter neo accommodation for all the passengers. There they will be able to enjoy a full sea view on the entrance and the ocean from the site.
The ship will be driven by six RIOL Royce Conder engines, each of 708 horsepower coupled up to six ammonia propellers 17 feet in length. The cruising speed mined it is 35 km an hour with a top speed of 65 km/h and two fuel tanks are inported, each able to carry one ton of gasoline.
Gasbags Largest Ever Made
The gasbags, each of 50,000 cubic feet capacity, are the largest ever built to the capacity at the Zeppelin works at Friedrichskafen. Despite all these wonders of modern science the structure only weighs 85 pounds. It is designed to carry ten tons of nail on each journey. Over 5,000,000 cubic feet will be necessary to lift the mammoth.
It will be equal in dimensions to a 50,000-ton battleship, and yet when fully loaded will only carry 100 tons of passengers and crew have been built in the hull of the ship, while in the basement the control and navigation room are
This flying machine will be capable of cruising 4,500 miles without refuelling. When completed it will have the capacity $22,698. It looks the embodiment of gratitude.
To Design Better Airship This by no means represents Britain's last word in isrish construction. Designs for another vessel are similar, with the addition of far in advance of the R100 are the R100 is in front of obsolete airships
