By Telegraph.—Press Association. -COPYRIGHT. (Rec. April 5, 5.5 p.m.) Paris, April 5.
M. Babot, a French pilot, has achieved a remarkable fea-t, flying at a height of 1500 feet in an aeroplane weighing 4Jcwt., including a 7 horse-power engine and the pilot. Experts are surprised at the .success of such a small machine, which proves that heavy high-powered engines are not necessary for practical aviation, thus opening up vistas undreamed of a year ago. • Experts also consider that the progress of motorless flights reveals that a revolution in aerial navigation has already begun.—Aus.-N.Z.
