Summary:

The weight of gasoline consumed, plus the weight of the tanks, reaches the weight of the engine itself in about five hours flight with a fixed engine, or in a much shorter period with a rotary engine. Any reduction in the weight of the fuel is, therefore, bound to prove advantageous. The possibility of reducing consumption per HP-hour will not be considered, but merely the possibility of finding lighter sources of heat energy.
