A super-air liner of revolutionary build, which is expected to fly to Bagdad in two days, Colombo in four days, Australia ill six days, and New Zealand in nine days, has been designed by Commander Burney, and is being built by the Airship Guarantee Company as a commercial craft. New features of her design are the absence of gondolas, except for those containing the engines, the crew and passengers, who will number 140, being accommodated in the actual hull of the vessel. The observation and control cabins are in the actual nose of the craft, for which has also been designed a mooring mast capable of being built on either a floating base or on land. Passengers will ascend the mast in a lift, entering the ship by the nose. The photograph shows an impression of the new airship in flight. (Central Press photo.)
