Mid-Atlantic Plane Station Is Tested

Germany plans an aerial postal service to connect Berlin within five days. The challenge of carrying enough fuel is addressed by converting the Westfalen freighter into an oceanic refueling station. Anchored in the mid-Atlantic, it refuels planes using a crane and catapult system.

• By reducing the weight of the planes

• By converting a freighter into a refueling station

• By using solar-powered planes

• By increasing the number of fuel stops

What is the name of the freighter converted into an oceanic refueling station?

• Bismarck

• Westfalen

• Lusitania

• Hindenburg

Where will the Westfalen be anchored for the refueling process?

• Near the coast of Germany

• In the mid-Atlantic

• Near the coast of the United States
