Abstract
MUCH attention is being paid in the general and technical press of this and other countries to flight with low-powered engines. The addition of small engines follows quickly on the gliding successes of the past year, but no marked connexion is discernible between the new features of the two types of flying machine. The change from aeroplanes having two or three hundred horse-power, and carrying a single individual, to aeroplanes of five to ten horse-power is now so striking as to have stirred public imagination. Many of those now interested are probably unaware of the flights made by A. V. Roe more than ten years ago with a nine horse-power J.A.P. engine.
