Discusses prospects of self-supporting airplane transportation and means of attaining it; points out that economy of airplane is dependent on its head resistance which again is indicated by tangent of its gliding angle; it is also determined by its propeller efficiency; structurally, economy is determined by ratio or empty-plane weight full loaded; fuel consumption is another important factor.
