Besides showing pictures of the Vertijet's performance, Ryan told a few details about its construction. During vertical hovering, when no airstream is passing over the control surfaces, the X-13 is controlled by deflecting the exhaust of the jet engine and by varying its thrust by throttle adjustments. The pilot does not have to take off vertically while sitting on the back of his neck with his feet in the air. His seat pivots enough to keep him in a reasonable sitting position. Ryan officials say that the X-13 has proved remarkably easy to fly. Pilot Girard...
...Opposed. If Montana voters approve a constitutional amendment to allow districts to increase their bonding limit, the state will have no trouble. Says Superintendent of Public Instruction Harriet Miller: "Until we exhaust our resources and abilities, we should not ask for federal help." South Carolina, which has put up 8,000 classrooms since 1951, neither needs nor wants federal help. In 1955 both North Dakota and Nebraska school officials went on record for the White House Conference on Education as definitely opposed...
Opposition is working along two lines. The first is to hold the bill in committee until a filibuster would kill it on the Senate floor. Every day's delay helps, since a crowded schedule at the end of the session will not leave time for Southern oratory to exhaust itself. A second and more insidious tactic, the specialty of Senator Ervin of North Carolina, is to raise doubts as to the constitutionality of the measure in the minds of those non-Southern senators who still fear addition to federal power at the expense of states' rights...
...named the Vertijet. is a small, delta-winged job that takes off from a suspended position, hanging from a framework like a bat. Last week Test Pilot Peter F. Girard, sitting on his back with his face to the sky. started its powerful jet engines. As the roaring exhaust hit the pavement below, a spray of dirt and melted tar boiled into the air. When the X-13 became airborne, Pilot Girard maneuvered it off its suspension rig and free of the framework. Then he flew it upward like a deliberate rocket and made a gradual pushover to normal level...
...free piston engine is a hybrid: a simplified piston engine that develops no direct mechanical power, but delivers high pressure exhaust gas that can be made to run a turbine, just like steam from a boiler (see diagram...
