TEST FLIGHTSUCCESSFUL New Arrow Sport Ninety Performs Nicely When Taken Into Air.

An Arrow Sport ninety, powered with the new LeBlond 90 h. p. motor, has been completed at the NEW SAFETY STANDARDS ARE SET BY CALIFORNIA AIRPORT In Addition 359 Made for Army and Navy, Department of Commerce Reports. Airplanes manufactured In the United States for civil use in the first six months of 1930 totaled 1,325, according to a final estimate by the aeronautics branch of the department of commerce made publio Saturday. The report is based on a record of department of commerce licenses and identification marks issued at the close of business on August 1 to aircraft manufactured since Jan.

1, 1930. There is a possibility, however, that there still may be a few aircraft for which licenses or identification marks have not yet been sought In addition to the 1,325 aircraft manufactured for civil use, 359 military aircraft were delivered to the army and navy during this six month period, which places the total' final estimate of production at 1,084. Of the aircraft manufactured for civil use since the first of the year, 148 were exported. Exclusive of the number of planes exported, there were 562 monoplanes and 598 biplanes manufactured during the period. Of the total number of monoplanes, 271 were open cockpit landplanes, with carrying capacities of one, two or three persons; 275 were cabin landplanes with carrying capacities for one to ten or over.

Monoplane flying boats manufactured totaled five; planes convertible to land or seplanes, four, and amphibians, seven. Of the total number of hinln uses tn Bcoten apeuing ot to family name because, he says, hs wants to get "air" Into It When Edmund Cairns was a little boy he one day saw a lightning artist in a store window paint a landscape in, three minutes, and the lad returned home and said to his mother: "I can do that just as well as he di." "All right, go ahead and do it" said this unusual mother. And he did. The walls of the old home on South Seventeenth bear many products of the youthful painter's work. Indians predominated for a while, and then landscapes began to take precedence and do today.

But today the canvas has to await its turn until Mr. Cairns has finished designing a new airplane or devising an improvement in those he has been building. The artist's eye for line and balance is seen in the products of his factory, tho they are built of course for utility. Sixty patents are an index to Mr. Cairns progress of the past twenty years.

"Engineering and art," Mr. Cairns says, "have given me all that life would desire, as the two fill and combine work, pleasure, adventure, imagination, travel, friendship and an unlimited field of maneuver."

The Cairns Aircraft company, located at Naugatuck, is a unit of the Cairns Development Mr. Callps is also president of the Cairns Aircraft company. Having been turned down by the air service when he volunteered at the time the war with the central powers was declared, he tried the next best thing: to make some metal planes for the government. As he, expressed it, "This was as hard to do as it was for our fliers to fly over Germany. After many heartbreaking experiences, Secretary Daniels of the navy saw that he was in earnest and it was a proud day when the secretary put his hand on Mr.

Cairns' and said in substance, "If you can do as you say, you will receive your reward." Together with J. W. Murry and other associates in Detroit, (plans end materials having been placed at their disposal), Mr. Cairns made the first all-steel plane for the navy. They worked on this plane during the years 1917 and 1918.

A few weeks before the armistice was signed, the plane was completed and successfully flown and tested. Before the plane could be used by the government the war ended. In 1920, Mr. Cairns made an all-metal plane for Melvln Dare, of Detroit but the plane waf wrecked on Its trial flight The fallowing year he almost made a plane for the company he organised. Which is to say, the plane was about ready to fly, when his associates decided to divert the money into other channels.

So again he was grounded. From Detroit Mr. Calms went to New York and opened an office some sixty-three to date, and to build two airplanes. One he built completed at Burbank, near Los Angeles. Twenty-five miles of surfaced runways, the most extensive runway system of any airport road terminals.

The airport was designed and constructed by the Austin company airport engineers and builders for the United Aircraft Transport coporation. In a ddirlon to the five surfaced runways averaging 300 feet in width and 3,500 feet in length, the United Airport is developed as a complete aeronautical unit with manfacturing operations, sales, aerial taxis and other aviation operations.

The wing is my own curve and design. It embodies features that tend to keep the plane from nosing over when landing. This plane is so original in its conception that has been granted Design Patent No. 80563 and is all metal with dark blue body with aluminum wings and black landing gear.

All the metal trimmings are chromium plated. The upholstery Is blue leather. They call it the 'sport roadster with There are so many new features in the plane that it would take a long time to adequately describe them. We are making several more like It" At present Mr. Cairns is looking for a new location as Naugatuck Is not geographically situated for a large business like his is becoming.

He is looking for the most likely spot in the United States and is willing to receive suggestions. Sometimes Mr. Cairns finds time to paint a picture when a charming bit of nature catches his eye when out motoring. He says that he will take to the air as soon liberal In their terms. Should he become a pilot he plans to make sky views.

'1 live," Mr. Cairns says, "breathe and radiate aviation and my ambition is to make the finest and best airplanes at a price within the reach of the buying public. Future airplanes will be built along the lines I am developing. The day of the fragile, inflammable make-shift plane is passing. My plane is the auto of the air.

I'm proud of it and will improve It henceforth." The machines he has invented make airplane parts in progressive units. All sizes of planes can be built for them. It is a pleasure, he says, to see one of these powerful mechanical things clutch a piece of metal and turn it into a useful article. In explaining why his surname is spelled differently from that of his mother, which is "Cams," Mr. Cairns says "I use the Scotch spelling of my name.

I wanted the word "air" in it He added that all the world's records were kept in Calms, Scotland, and that he hopes to keep the airplane records tending low over the landing gean conveniences for passengers. in April, 13U, Mr cairn's latest achievement was made and flown.

It has a cell FRANCE REPORTS HER AVIATION PROGRESS PARIS France exported approximately 18,577,320 worth of aeronautical products during 1929 and Imported aeronautical equipment worth about $140,000, ac ing of 16,000 feet and will climb 1,200 feet the first minute and 1,000 feet a minute after in the air.

Young1, assistant secretary of commerce for aerc-Dautics, has returned to Washington from a four-weeks' Inspection of civil and commercial aeronautic activities In the middle west and far west.

-vAs a result of my observations and conferences with representatives of the aircraft Industry," Mr. Young said in a statement Saturday, "I find thatthere is no greater discouragement among those firms and operatoirs in the aircraft Industry which are established and conducting business On sound, fundamental economic principles, than there is among similarly established firms In other business activities. "Altho the aircraft industry is still suffering from the general business depression, the impressive and outstanding feature Is the sound quality of commercial aeronautics. There is a determined effort among those who posses thoro training and experience in the economics of manufacturing, marketing and operation not only to survive but carry on the development of the sicence and Industry. "Manufacturers of aircraft who are Just as skilled In the funda- mental principles of business economics as they are In designing, constructing and flying aircraft, are paying strict attention to the needs and desires of an intelligent and discriminating aircraft market They are maklrig every effort to design and' produce aircraft which their experience and studies have Indicated are what the public wants.

At the same time they are projecting plans continually on new developments, new designs, new features in an effort to keep in the van of public desire, as they realize that aircraft may easily become obsolete. "It was indeed gratifying to see how cities and towns are continuing to realize more and more that air transportation plays a very definite and important part In our national transportation scheme. Those communities possessing this degree forseight not only have established or encouraged the establishment of airports, but are taking steps to develop them to the fullest extent of existing knowledge and experience. This is articularly true of the air terminals in the larger cities that now -are serving air lines both day and night as well as those that are in advantageous position to render "such service. 'I'.

"The passenger air transport 'jlines are constantly making in-oads into that large group of peo-ple who could travel by air but Hrfor one reason or other have -elected to remain with surface "transportation. Those air lines that 'Jrend a service clearly advantageous in time over other means of "Sravel or which advantageously -augment surface transportation, tare doing a satisfactory business and the tendency points to increase. "When the provisions of the -Cwatres air mail bill are placed in force and effect, this legislation will have two outstanding Stimulating features on the Indus-try and also will be beneficial to he public: "First, air mail will be extended Uo various parts of the country not now receiving this service and iat comparatively less expense to "the federal government. "Second, It will contribute materially to a more comprehensive air passenger service thruout the by placing present exclusive air mall carriers in the passenger "'carrying business. "These two points should con-' tribute materially to the building nip of the present comparatively "'Ismail passenger air transport to the point where there -should be absolutely no question the completeness and fitness Iof service available for any de- that may arise.

"While this year will probably "be the worst that commercial aero-nautica has experienced, nevertheless It will be the best from the "standpoint of re-establishing the Industry upon a firm foundation. "The economic sieve has been at for several months, sifting "out the insecure and the unpre- pared who rushed Into the industry supply a demand that did not Mllve up to their anticipations. "The gold paint at last has been from commercial aeronau-I "tics.

Milton Schultz, chief test pilot for the Arrow company, was highly enthused with the ship's performance, as was James Ward production manager. Federal tests for the approved type certificate will be given the ship in the near future. The LeBlond 90 is the first seven cylinder motor to be installed on an Arrow, the LeBlond, Kinner and Lambert motors now used being five cylinder engines. The Arrow company is now working on a job to be powered with the new LeBlond 66 engine.

Mr. Ward has made a few alterations in the fuselage to make the cockpit more comfortable and roomy and to provide a larger baggage compartment The fuselage will, also be more completely streamlined around the tail-group. Mr. -Ward expects to equip this ship with alrwheels, the new type of landing wheels Introduced a few months ago. A number of refinements, making for greater passenger comfort, will be features of the new Job which is expected to be ready for its test flights within two weeks.
