NEW FLYING MACHINE.
SECRET TESTS MADE. By Telegraph—Press Assn—Copyright, Received August 23, 8.20 pm. London, August 23. The Daily Chronicle states that the tests of the Brennan helicopter continue to progress satisfactorily at Farnborough, though the machine is still in the experimental stage. Elaborate precautions have been taken to keep the results of the trials secret. Thus far the trials have been conducted under cover, but it is understood open air flights will shortly be attempted.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
[A helicopter is a screw propelled flying machine, in which the lifting power is accomplished by two horizontal propellers revolving in opposite directions.]
