extracted text (Extract Text): A “BAT PLANE,” whose
movable wings adjust
themselves during flight to
keep the craft from stalling
or going into a spin, was
recently demonstrated at
the Dayton, Ohio, municipal
airport. Operated by the
control stick and held in
ball-bearing sockets, the
moving wings also help to
keep the fuselage steady by
absorbing air bumps. Other
novel features are V-shaped
wings, a nine-foot tail, and
the elimination of elevators
and horizontal stabilizers.
The ship, known as the Mallard, was developed
by George Cornelius, president of the Cornelius
Aircraft Corporation, of Dayton. It is 17 feet
long, has a 30-foot wingspread, and is said to
be able to continue in normal flight even after
the pilot has removed his hands and feet from
the controls.
