Silencer for Aero Engines
IMPORTANCE IN WAR,
United Press Association. —Jly Electric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON - , Sept. 20. The Daily Mail’ says that a test of an aircraft engine silencer by the Air Ministry shows it to be so successful that the noise is less than that of motor-cars. It is easy to hear conversation in normal tones and the engine is inaudible from the ground when an aeroplane is flying at a height of 2500 feet. Haiders equipped with the device could not be detected though flying at ISO miles an hour. If air-screw noise is as effectively deadened, existing aircraft defences will bo useless. Silent war aeroplanes could bomb London and return to their baso while the defenders still wondered whero thev were.
