JAN. 16, 1930. Aviation LINDBERGH WILL TEST FLYING AT HIGH ALTITUDES Experimental Flights May Result in Aviation Advance. Py United Press LOS ANGELES, Jan. 16.—Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh will put his new Lockheed-Sirlus monoplane through a series of test flights next spring to determine possibilities of transporting passengers and mail at altitudes above storm clouds, the lamous flier said here. The experimental flying will be done in co-operation with naval ex perts at Lakehurst. N. J., and the United States weather bureau. “We know that an airplane en counters less resistance at high al titudes and thus is capable of pro ducing greater speed,’’ Colonel Lind bergh said, “but the flights will be purely experimental and their suc cess can not be foretold.” The tests will not be spectacular, he said, but will be made simply to investigate chances for raising pres ent flying levels to meet constantly changing weather conditions.
