AN HOUR’S FLIGHT
ROME TO LONDON NEW AEROPLANE POSSIBILITIES. FLYING HIGH. Received March 6, 7.15 p.m. Received March 6, 7.15 p.m. ROME, March 5. Experts are examining the possibilities of a new aeroplane in which it is hoped to fly from Rome to London in an hour, and from Rome to New York in six hours, by rising 25,000 feet, where the rarefied atmosphere reduces air resistance. The chief difficulty will be the provision of normal air pressures for the occupants and the correct functioning of the engines.
