“FLYING MILKMAN”
USE OF NEW HELICOPTER. An aeroplane which can carry a flying milkman from door to door is an accomplished fact, states a New York journal. He could stop his aeroplane in the air while he deposited hotties and picked up empties. All he would need would be a window-high shelf. Then he could speed away at 30 to 40 miles an hour to the next house.
The aeroplane was described by experts to the mid-winter meeting in New York of the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences.
The flying milkman aeroplane is a helicopter, called the VS-300, built by I. I. Sikorsky, of the Vought Sikorksy Company, United Aircraft Corporation. It flies straight up, stands still in the air, flies backwards and has done 30 to 40 miles straightaway, and performed well in a 25-mile wind.
