AERONAUTICS: Ghost Plane
"Ghost Plane"
General Hischauer, who commanded the French Air Service during the War and is now reporter of the Military Aviation budget, announced the completion of tests of a "ghost plane" which will fly pilotless 100 miles out of sight and rain death on enemy armies and cities in the next war. A gyroscopic stabilizer re- places the pilot for the maintenance of equilibrium.' Wireless guides the plane at will and makes it land precisely at a given spot, however far away from the point of control. The discharge of powerful bombs will also be controlled by wireless. Similar experiments are being conducted in England and in the U. S.
