MAN POWER ’PLANE

EETUENED SOLDIEE’S INVENTIONS

A returned soldier pensioner, Mr. J. E. Chiimory-Brown,, of Ngaruawaia, has registered in Auckland a limited liability company to further the development of a man-powered flying machine. Mr. Chinnciy-Brown statec that by means of his contrivance a man would bo able to fly without the assistauce of mechanical power. His machine was not a glider in that it was independent of directional air currents. Its action was based upon the flight of the albatross and was the result of 20 years of study. He had not made a model, for the success of the machine depended on four separate sources of thrust, which could be given only by the man operating it.
