DEVICE TO PREVENT STALLING. [TUB PKHBB Special Service.] AUCKLAND, Juno 17. A device which it is claimed Vvill prevent an aeroplane from stalling has recently bsst ,-p#fected '\;by,jhdfung Auckland inventor, Mr C. Hughes, of ParnelL Tlie actual value of the attachment, which can be adapted to suit any type of aeroplane, is still a closelyguarded secret, as the inventor has not yot completed negotiations for the patent rights in certain countries. The device is dependent upon wind resistance for its operation and is fitted to the wing of the machine. Mr Hughes has been working on the invention for the last three years, and has completed a model which he claims gives satisfactory results. Qc has not yet made a full-size model of his invention, but has sent details to two leading aircraft manufacturers, one in England and the other in America. Both have shown considerable interest in the invention. If present negotiations are successful, the device will be made, fitted, and tested by the English concern. Apart from eliminating stall, which is the principal function of the invention, it will also enable an aeroplane to take ®£f and land in about half the distance now required.
