THE FUN OF IT

about autogiros. I am often asked whether other kinds can be built. The answer is yes—big trans­ports are possible, and little fast single seaters. The theory is good for all.

It seems to me whether or not the autogiro ever invades the general field of aeronautical activity that one of its accomplishments—that of hovering in the air under certain conditions—will be utilized for special work. Perhaps it will be found espe­cially adaptable in aerial photography. There are surely scores of special uses to which it might attain. In fact, with the giro as with many new developments, so much is likely to happen that I am planning to return to earth in a couple of hundred years to check up on its doings.
