POWER OF AERO-MOTORS.
The motor equipments of the scouting aeroplanes at the front are gradually being increased in. the number of cylinders and horse-power. A German machine recently brought down in France was fitted with. a 16-cylinder "V" water-cooled Mercedes engine. It was equipped with two carburetters and two magnetos. This engine would easily develop 300 h.p., sufficient power to drive the aeroplane at a speed of over 110 miles an hour.
