...considering the freeway in relation to the landscape, the questions are: "Does it flow along the river smoothly, hug the slope naturally, climb the hill in a convincing way? Does it grasp the mountain firmly, jump the valley decisively? Or does it, on the contrary, climb a ridge needlessly, descend into a valley thoughtlessly, violate a lake brutally, cut up the landscape violently? Or is it simply trite...
...failed to note that it would probably mean $100,000 less in merit raises, because few companies are willing to increase overall labor costs at the expense of profits and dividends. At Lockheed Aircraft, officials figure that rest periods and coffee breaks cost 12? an hour, which otherwise could flow into wages...
When the shutter is opened and a picture is momentarily focused on the film, the situation suddenly changes. Wherever light hits the film, the plastic it strikes becomes electrically conductive; the positive and negative charges flow together at that point and cancel each other out. Where no light strikes, the opposite charges remain in place, still pulling toward each other like opposite poles of a magnet...
Northrop engineers, who have run thousands of hours of wind-tunnel tests, say that once the suction is started, there is smooth, laminar flow over both top and bottom of their new wing. Up to 80% of the friction drag is eliminated-and this figure includes compensation for the drag caused by the nacelles and for the power needed to run the turbines. With drag so drastically reduced, an airplane uses much less fuel, thus can fly farther or carry more payload. The null will not have its first flight tests until next month, but Northrop is already making...
