, The Sloane Aeroplane Company of
No. 1737 Broadway, New York, la hf I
oaiia a new Dipiane in which J. F, ']
de Villa, a California aviator, hopes ,
to fly across the Atlantic and win the ,
Dally Mail prize pf 150,000. Mr. de ,
Villa Is the third competitor for thlB
prize to announce his intentions, the
others being Rodman Law and Harry
Bingham Brown.?' ll :
A small experimental machine,
constructed according to Mr. de Villa's
designs, is practically completed,
and the full size aeroplant for the
actual flight will be begun under the |
inventor's supervision as soon as he
arrives from California. Ha is now
op his way here. - ^
The biplane is said to differ radically
from previous designs of hydroplanes,
having many special features
evolved by Mr. de Villa from
experlroentaoonduotedin California^
The machine will combine probably
the largest wing Burface of any aeroplane
ever lyulU, with comparatively"
small head resistance. This, with a
200-horse power motor, is expected
to give it a speed of seventy miles an
hour.
The machine's body, built of steel
and mahogany, will be entirely inclosed,
and will enable the biplane to
alight and arise from the surface of
the water at any time, unless in the
very roughest sea. During the transatlantic
flight de Villa does not intend
to alight unless compelled to do
so.
