AIR TRAVEL
IWO-DAY tSKI (AIN-AUS I KALIA SERVICE. PREDICTED BY DESIGNER OF GIANT LINER. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, July 2. The world’s biggest air liner, which is now being built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company, will enable the introduction of a two-day service between Britain and Australia, with only four stops for re-fuelling. This is predicted by the designer of the plane, Mr Leslie Frise. Special engines developing a total of 20,000 horse-power will give the air liner a cruising speed of from 250 to 300 miles an hour, using only a small part of the maximum power. The machine will be an all-metal monoplane, and will carry a crew of 15 and 150 passengers by day and from 70 to 75 at night.
Mr Frise predicts that the air liner will make possible a non-subsidised passenger service between London and New York at £5O for a single fare.
