Ground Level Pressure to Be Maintained to 15,000 Ft.
London, Mar. 25.
Additional details of the Fzirey "stratoplanes" for flying at greater heights than is at present practicable with passengers were announced yesterday.
Fourteen of these airliners will embody pressure cabins of a more advanced kind than those of any airliner at present in service or beyond the experimental stage. In the cabins, the normal ground level of the atmosphere pressure will be maintained up to the height of 15,000 feet. D Accommodation will be provided for 30 passengers. This type of eir-liner is designed to attain a maximum speed of 275 m.p.h., with four engines, each of 1000 horsepower.—Wireless through Reuter.
