i6 FLIGHT. ADVERTISEMENTS. FEBRUARY 18, 1937. HIGH-SPEED CONSTRUCTION (UNDER BURNELLI PATENTS) CLYDE AIRCRAFT The explanation of CLYDE AIRCRAFT simplicity of construction lies in the incorporation of a lifting fuselage, a plain structure which, in' addition to its aerodynamic merit, is free of complication and comprises mainly:— Two flat side panels—large sheets forming upper and lower surfaces—four simple rectangular bulkheads. These four bulkheads, in addition to forming the fuselage structure, are employed as supporting structure for engines, wings and landing gear. Such a combination of several functions into one body is exclusive to CLYDE AIRCRAFT, and accounts for the speed of construction and consequent low production costs. • A LIFTING FUSELAGE IS BETTER THAN A SUBSIDY Kindly mention "Flight" when corresponding with advertisers.
