12 FLIGHT. ADVERTISEMENTS. MAY 27, 1937. CLYDE CLIPPER CONSTRUCTION (under Burnelli patents) THE LIFTING FUSELAGE—No. I. BULKHEAD. The inherent strength and simplicity of construction of the bulkhead is apparent— there are only four such bulkheads in the lifting fuselage as compared with the many bulkheads found in the stream line fuselage. SOME ADVANTAGES OF CLYDE AIRCRAFT: * • ACCESSIBLE MULTIPLE ENGINE COM PARTMENT, allowing inspection and minor repairs during flight. REDUCED TURNING MOMENT ON ONE ENGINE, assisting flight with one motor operating. INCREASED CAPACITY OF FUSELAGE, maximum space for passengers or cargo. SUPERIOR SAFETY IN OPERATION. Protection afforded by engines and propellers being well forward of pilots and passenger cabin. * * * • EXTENSIVE REDUCTION OF HEAD RESISTANCE necessary to high per formance. FUSELAGE LIFT REDUCES LANDING SPEED, ensuring slower and safer landings. PRACTICAL LANDING GEAR RETRAC TION, essential to aerodynamic efficiency. STRUCTURAL EFFICIENCY AND SIM PLICITY. Loads of engines, propellers and landing gear are not imposed upon the wing structure. A LIFTING FUSELAGE IS BETTER THAN A SUBSIDY SCOTTISH AIRCRAFT AND ENGINEERING CO. LTD.
