Steel-Aluminium Aeroplane.
An aeroplane made entirely of steel and aluminium, and provided with a surface under the driver’s seat, which is expected to cause the machine to float if it falls into the water, has been built and successfully tested out by an American living in Paris. The builder is Mr. Moisant, who lately flew from Paris to London, and who has made a number of short, flights in it. The wings are made of thin aluminium, and the lower parts are of steel. The driver’s seat and the motor are placed on a surface or car built to float on the water and provided with two flat stabilizers, one on each side. :
