Engineer Designs
New-Type Glider
Minneapolis, Minn. Philip
Stiles, youthful aeronautical engi
neer, has designed a new type of
glider that may be of value to
the army for transporting troops
Stiles, an airline employe, is
building the craft in the Univer
sity of Minnesota’s aeronauticjl
engineering laboratory with the
aid of university technicians.
He has developed a special wing
and an aileron construction which
gives a glider nearly perfect, con
trol at low speeds without sacr
ficing maneuverability at higher
speeds.
“This construction involves in
stallation of a ‘washout’ or twist
in the tip of the wing,” Stiles
said.
Stalling Is Minimized.
“By changing the position of
1 the aileron on this twist, the
pilot simultaneously changes the
wing’s air foil to prevent stall
ing at low speeds. Stalling de
creases a ships maneuverability.”
Stiles said he did not have
glider transportation of troops in
mind when he designed the ship,
but he believes it may be useful
adjuncts to the nation’s fighting
forces.”
“Gliders are far less expensive
than power planes and can be
landed in a small space,” he said.
Power Saving Stressed
“Furthermore, more men can
be transported by tow and glider
than by transports. It requires
only three and a half horsepower
to tow a single-place glider in
level flight.”
The framework of Stiles’ glid
er is of welded metal tubing,
When completed it will weigh
325 pounds and will be able to
carry two men whose combined,
weight does not exceed 340
pounds.
With a wing spread of 47 feet
and a length of 24 feet, the ship
wiH be capable of a normal
ground towed flight of between
60 and 1,200 feet.
“If the glider turns out to be
successful, I plan to construct a
still larger one,’ Stiles declared.

Letter To Mrs.

Mayfair 4613
July 17th, 1941
Dear Mrs. Ford,
This house has been a receiv
ing Depot for gifts from Ameri
ca to Great Britain since Febru
ary 1940. We have in that time
received a very large number of
consignments from the British
War Relief Society.
As you probably know, the in
voices we receive do not show
the names of any individual
Branches, so that we only know
that the shipments come from
feritish War Relief. I feel, how
ever, that all Branches through
out the country have contribut
ed to the splendid gifts of cloth
ing which come to this house, and
I would like to send to you and
to all your helpers and to those
working under the auspices of
your Branch in yoUr Sub-Com
mittees, the very cordial thanks
of my Committee.
* It may interest you to know
ftiat all of us who work here are
American born women and it is
such a pleasure to us to carry on
i your .work over here and so to
be connected in this way with
you in the magnificent help which
you are sending to the people of
Great Britain.
I think you would feel greatly
touched and rewarded if you
could hear, as I have, some poor
woman say “This has come all
the way from America. How kind
and good they are over thex-e to
think of it! It makes us feel iike
one family.”
I think you will agree that in
giving this feeling of kinship to
the people here who are bearing
their troubles so bravely, you are
doing as important a work for
their mental well-being as you
are doing for their physical well
being by sending them such gen -
erous and practical assistance.
I should like to add my per
sonal thanks for all you are do
ing in every way to help in re
lieving distress in this country.
Yours sincerely,
LOU WARD
