Washington Conference and Aircraft So far nothing has been settled at Washington regarding aircraft limitations, but on December 30 a report was forth coming from flu- Committee of l-lxperts to which has been delegated the study of flu- possible control of aeroplanes in war. The findings, it is stated, of the experts would be discouraging if if intact then- had not been a feeling that iittlc could I ted in this direction from a con- tice of limited membership. They suggest that the ques tion can best IH- considered .it a gathering of wider scope, less their Inability to make practical proposals either tlit- number of aeroplanes which a nation may have for military use or their form of build. It is, however, under stood that the Sub-Committee on aviation will recommend in their report that there be no limitation to the construction of aircraft, but that there shall be a clear definition- as to their use in war-time. British Money for Helicopters On dit that the Air Ministry is asking the sanction of the Treasury for the offer of a £50,000 prize for a design of helicopter which will reach an altitude of 2,000 ft., remain stationary there for half an hour, be able to descend with engine stopped, and have a horizontal speed at 2,000 ft. of at least 60 m.p.h., carrying the pilot and one hour's fuel. If there is any truth in the rumour, the machine is presumably intended for military purposes,, as its value to commercial aviation is negligible. In any case, the technical science relating to helicopterism is so vague at the present day that the taxpayer's money would probably be quite safe for a number of years. 13
