New Era Is Opened
By Flight of ZR-3,
Capt. Heinen Predicts
LAKEHURST, N. J„ Oct. 15.
“The arrival of the ZR-3 opens a
new era in world transportation and
may mark the beginning of an eco
nomic revolution,” Captain Anton
Heinen, noted Zeppelin expert, said
today.
“Within 25 years aircraft will be
used as commonly as automobiles
are today.
“The dirigible will prove the
strongest impulse the world has
known for world-wide brotherhood
through improving communications
between distant peoples.”
Heinen explained the Zeppelin
works has proved beyond all doubt
the practicability of construction of
huge air cruisers for definite pur
poses such as the present transat
lantic flight of the ZR-3.
“We can easily construct much
larger air cruisers,” the captain
said. “A flight from New York to
Pekin is entirely practical. A ship
of five million cubic feet capacity—
twice the size of the ZR-3, would
amply suffice for such a voyage.”
