COPING WITH FOGS
NEW DEVICE FOR AEROPLANES.
GERMAN INVENTOR’S ROBOT.
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Nov. 18.
A German inventor has produced a new robot pilot with a mechanical brain, enabling an aeroplane to rise to the required height and fly the required course and speed irrespective of the human pilot, who takes off in. the machine and then sits back, says the Dispatch.
The robot pilot is also equipped with several wireless systems, two of which assist landing. One shows on the dashboard the miniature beacon corresponding to the centre of the aerodrome, which moves across the dial. If the plane deviates the other sounds a note which varies if the plane is off its course.
These unprecedented combinations make the finest “fog beater” in the history of aviation. British Air Ministry and Imperial Airways experts have flown the plane and are greatly impressed.
