SWIFT TRAVEL
FORETOLD BY AIRCRAFT DESIGNER LONDON TO NEW YORK overnight; NEW COMPOSITE MACHINE PLANNED. (British Official Wireless.) (Recd This Day, 10.15 a.m.) RUGBY, August 9. Speaking at Cambridge, Mr Mayo, designer of the Composite seaplane bearing his name, said it was hoped soon to begin the construction of a new land type composite machine. “We hope that we shall have a top speed of 300 miles an hour and a cruising speed of just a bit less, so that we shall be able to fly non-stop overnight, with one ton of useful load, from London to New York,” the designer said. “You will post your letters in London at 6 p.m. and they will be delivered in New York by the first post next morning.”
