Patterned After the Grey Goose

Here is the "Grey Goose," an airplane that has been evolved by J. E. Caldwell after years of study of the flight of birds and particularly the flight of the Canadian grey goose after which it has been named. However, the plane uses the rotating action of cylinders and blades in place of the flapping of birds' wings, and the motive power is generated by a 96-horsepower engine. A frame of duraluminum that is about 16 feet long and 25 feet wide, with small wings on each side and with two rotating metal cylinders that have rotating horizontal blades on each side, make up the Caldwell plane.
