Boat Driven by Air Propeller. A boat propelled by an eight-foot air screw, placed at the stern, has recently been tested at Berlin, with results anything but satisfactory as compared with the ordinary screw propellers revolved below the surface of water. The object of this test was to find the best size and pitch for a screw to drive an airship.
