Both the sit-ins and the Black Muslim movements demonstrate that the new drive for elevation is not confined to the spotlighting of a few black individuals, as was characteristic of the Black Renaissance of the 1920s and '30s. Now, "lifting as they climb," the leaders have set in motion the whole mass of the now restricted people of colour. It is the people whose voice we now hear, not the protest of a lonely W. E. B. duBois or James Weldon Johnson...
Irish citizens are still able to reside and have jobs in Britain without registering as aliens or needing work permits. The stock exchange steadied and began to climb...
...total of 16.000 Ibs. for the four chambers of earlier X-15s engines. For a few seconds it generated 70% of its rated thrust, and White thrilled to its surge. Then he throttled back to a more prudent 50% and put the X-15 into a 30° climb. When he reached level flight at 75,000 ft., the X-15 spurted ahead. White slipped it sideways and wiggled its rudder to test control-and the strange airplane responded precisely. He shut off the engine after 125 sec. of operation. This was the instant of greatest speed: Mach...
...could have talked, it might have complained about the heat of the flight. A thermocouple inside the wing recorded 675° F. Yet the structure did not fail, and the engineers are confident that it can take its design temperature of 1,200° F., reach Mach 6 and climb to 50 or perhaps 100 miles...
...Apache. The Skymaster, to go into production next year, will be powered by two new Continental 180-h.p. engines, carry four passengers at a cruising speed of about 180 m.p.h., take off and land in less than 800 ft. of runway, fly as high as 22,000 ft. and climb 1,550 ft. per minute. Moreover, the unusual tandem engine mounting virtually eliminates the problem of torque and unbalance that usually occurs when a conventional twin-engine plane loses power in one engine, making it so difficult to fly that comparatively few weekend flyers hold twin-engine ratings. The result...
