Abstract

CONTINUITY is a precious virtue, and in this respect no classic aeronautical competition can boast of a record approaching that of the Coupe Deutsch de la Meurthe. Regulations drawn up for the first contest, held in 1933, have since remained identical, except in some minor details. The main pointsthe limitation of the cubic capacity of engines to 8 litres 488.2 cu. in., the distance of the race, 2,000 km. 1,242 miles, and the provision of a qualifying test calling both for a high average speed and for the demonstration of the ability of the machines to takeoff and land in a reasonable space after clearing an obstructionall these characteristic features combined have proved the most remarkable incentive to technical progress ever recorded in the history of aviation.
