FEBRUARY 27, 1936. FLIGHT. 237 A BRITISH NEWCOMER Side-by-side Seating in Light Monoplane to be Produced by Sports Car Makers TO the designs of Mr. D. M. K. Marendaz, known to motoring enthusiasts as the designer and manufacturer of Marendaz Special cars, a low-wing two-seater cabin monoplane is being built at Maidenhead. Mr. Marendaz was a war-time pilot and has had experience as a racing driver. Construction of the machine is well in hand. Complete particulars are not yet available, but the com pany believes that, due to the "machine's simplicity, com prehensive equipment and side-by-side dual control, it will appeal not only to the private owner of moderate means, but also to schools. It is being designed to conform with the Air Ministry's aerobatic requirements. The fuselage is of semi-monocoque construction, and is wide enough, it is claimed, to provide accommodation equal to that in an Austin Seven car. What engine will be specified as standard has not yet been revealed. Flaps, landing light, differentially operated brakes (patents pend ing) and undercarriage" springing by torsion shaft The semi-monocoque fuselage and tail unit of the Marendaz monoplane.

One would have expected that any scheme of National Planning would of necessity include serious considera tion of the future provision of aerodromes and land communica tions leading to them. The copious and elaborate curriculum of this school touches the subject of air transportation, and shows some sign of air-mindedness; yet it was disappointing to find that the exhibits of various diagrams, the work of the students (or, as they prefer to be called, members) included none relating to the planning of aerodromes.
