Suggestions for improving efficiency of wheel-type undercarriage are given; rigid undercarriage structures; reduction of parasitic structure, especially that lying within airscrew disk; cleaner structure; improved strut connections at their points of juncture with body and wings; advantages to be gained from use of rigid structure, employing some form of internally sprung wheel. (Aeronautical Eng. Sec.) (see also Automobile Engr., vol. 19, no. 254, May 1929, pp. 180-182, 5 figs.)
