...operation is its Ottobrunn idea factory, a closely guarded cluster of buildings in a dense forest outside Munich. From it has come such hardware as an experimental helicopter whose swiveling rotor blades will enable it to fly at a record 310 m.p.h., a heavy-duty rotor system that jets exhaust gases through the tips of hollow blades, and the VJ 101 vertical-takeoff fighter plane. With such help as he will get from Boeing, Ludwig Bölkow fully expects to help make Germany once again a major competitor in the world...
...potential problem of running the buses underground has already been solved. Last January the State Department of Public Health approved the installation of catalytic mufflers on the diesel-powered buses. The special mufflers would prevent exhaust of noxious gases while the buses are underground...
Beautiful Flame. With so many advantages, what can be wrong with hybrids? A great deal, say their critics. Worst of all is low-combustion efficiency; the fuel and oxidizer tend to escape through the exhaust nozzle before they have reacted. They burn as a long, beautiful flame, which wastes much of its energy on empty air. When the hybrid is throttled down by partially closing the oxidizer valve, its efficiency gets worse, sometimes falling...
...didn't I?" It was enough to confuse anybody. In one of the wildest finishes in racing history, Britain's Surtees became the 1964 Grand Prix champion-by the humbling margin of a leaky oil line and a bent exhaust pipe...
...radical new "Para-Commander" chute that ought to do for parachuting what fiber glass does for pole vaulters. Instead of the usual umbrella-shaped 28-ft. canopy with a single wedge cut out of it for maneuverability, the 24-ft. Para-Commander has 34 small openings or holes for exhaust vents, comes down almost 50% slower (13 ft. per sec.) and is much more maneuverable. In eight accuracy jumps at Leutkirch, U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Richard T. Fortenberry, 26, hit dead center three times...
