A NEW ZEALAND AEROPLANE.
ALDINGTON RESIDENT'S EXPERIMENTS.
(Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, March 13. \ young resident of Addington, employed in the Railway Department and at present acting fireman on the Rangiora line, who has been experimenting with flying machines, has constructed a model of an aeroplane. It has two rows of small planes with 14 in each row, and looked at from above or below resembles a diamond shape, from which the top and bottom points have been cut off, leaving six sides. The young experimenter has selected this model out of six that he tried. He says that he reckons to get considerably more lifting power out of it than can be obtained from biplanes of the sanio dimensions now in use, and that it will be lighter and stronger than those now built. It will not bo so wide and will take up less space. A working machine would bo driven by a 50 h.p. engine, and would have two propellers.
