Airman Echols says that his main job is to try to guess what the Joint Chiefs of Staff will be wanting five years hence. Northrop's job is to make them want what he designs. Right now, Northrop is worrying about the "thermal barrier"- the speeds where air friction will disintegrate metal planes. He is experimenting with fuselages made of glass fiber, which will not melt at those speeds. Looking further ahead to the days of pilotless planes, Northrop already has about 14% of his work force on guided missiles, expects a production contract soon. Against rainy days, Northrop...
...campaign will "peak" just at election time. They don't want to throw the big punches too soon. What needs doing now is being done.

...Rush. There was plenty of need for the big rush. Jet planes are already approaching the supersonic speeds at which aluminum wings will be melted by the friction of the air unless refrigerated. Titanium, on the other hand, holds up fine at the temperatures which occur at supersonic speeds. The Air Force feels that the first nation which makes titanium planes may well control...
...demand that SHAPE officers and men of all nationalities get along without friction is reflected in the kids' behavior at school. One English boy admitted that he was fed up walloping English kids. He wished he could bash a couple of Yanks but he didn't want to get his father into trouble. On the whole, says Headmaster Tallard, the Dutch and British pupils are the best behaved, the French and Americans the quickest at learning...
