Discussion of question of performance and factors on which it depends, in order to justify numerical values given; if airplane can be produced, with gliding angle as low as 1 in 25, to "take-off" and fly at low altitude carrying half its gross weight in fuel, there is every prospect that half-circumference of earth, 12, 600 mi, may be covered in single flight without refueling.
