FIREPROOF AIRCRAFT.
Danger of fire breaking out in an aeroplane engine in flight gives promise of being eliminated by the perfection of a new method of fixing motor and gas tanks which permits them to be dropped from the fuselage of the-plane in case of fire. The mechanism is attached to a frame underneath the 'plane, from which it can be dropped at an instant's notice by simply moving the release lever. After the motor has been dropped the 'plane lands easily as a glider.
