THE TIMES ON AEROPLANES.
THE PROBLEM OF EQUILIBRIUM.
Received 3, 10.50 p.m. London, January 3. The Times, in an article on ''Aeronautics, 1£>10," declares that flying is largely empirical. A ship, bird, submarine, and a dirigible all inherit a tendency to keep right side up, but the aeroplane has nothing of the kind, and turns turtle on the slightest provocation. The problem of equilibrium must be solved after much laborious scientific investigation of each of its component problems before the aeroplane can rank as a scientific machine. BRITISH AIR PILOTS. Received 4, 1.15 a.m. London, January 3. Fifty pilots' certificates were granted to British airmen in 1010.
