DEVICE TO PREVENT
STALLING
AUCKLAND, June 17
A device which it is claimed will prevent an aeroplane from stalling has recently been perfected by a young Auckland inventor Mr C. Hughes, of Parnell. The actual value of the attachment, which can be adapted to suit any type of aeroplane, is still a closely guarded secret, as the inventor has not yet 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 (rjves satisfactory results. He has not yet made a full-size model of his invention, but has sent details to two 'ending aircraft manufacturers, one in England and the other in America Both have shown considerable interestin 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 unable an aeroplane to take off and land in about half the distance now required.
