Today, Bluhdorn's $182 million-a-year Gulf & Western makes and sells auto parts throughout the U.S., controls 57 subsidiary companies, and has branched into the manufacture of jet-engine parts, guitars, and survival equipment for spacemen. Through his own outside investments, Bluhdorn also controls the East's...
To operate, it must first be accelerated to a speed of several hundred miles per hour by an auxiliary turbojet or rocket engine, or get a lift from a conventional plane. After that, enough air is rammed into the engine's front inlet to set up a pressure barrier...
Hydrogen Cooling. These apparent limitations dampened interest in further ramjet development work until late last year, when Marquardt Corp. scientists convincingly demonstrated a practical method of maintaining combustion in a supersonic flow of air. Using hydrogen, which has a low ignition temperature, burns rapidly and provides high thrust, they kept...
For space application, the Air Force is thinking about a stubby-winged scramjet encircled by its own cylindrical engine. It would be carried to an altitude of about 125,000 ft. by a more conventional plane and released at a speed of 3,500 m.p.h. The scramjet would then accelerate...
After delivering supplies to a space station, say, the scramjet would fire retrorockets, re-enter the atmosphere and fly back to earth. It would be capable of landing at any large airport with the aid of a turbojet engine, which would begin operating at lower speeds after the scramjet engine...
