...breathing system is called cryogenic scuba, for the science of supercooling, which has been used to fuel spacecraft with liquid oxygen and, in medicine, to freeze everything from ulcers and tumors to tonsils and cataracts. The new scuba rig was pioneered by Jim Woodberry, 23, a Miami diver who has successfully tested a prototype for a total of 400 hours at depths up to 200 ft. He plans to have it on the market before year's end. Anticipated price: $250 to $300 for the apparatus, plus $3.50 for each refill of liquid...
...ever going beyond airplanes and propellers, we'll probably have to go to rockets." Guggenheim, already a spirited benefactor of aeronautical progress, was convinced. During the 1930s, the Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Foundation aided Goddard's work with $190,000 in grants, hardly enough to fuel a Saturn rocket today, but then enough to permit the Father of Modern Rocketry to build sophisticated systems that became the basis of America's postwar entry into the Space...
...machine could possibly match the tremendous torque (1,000 foot-pounds) and acceleration produced by its 550-h.p. Pratt & Whitney power plant. But Foyt is nothing if not a pragmatist: he ordered a special "overdrive" gear installed in his Coyote-Ford to save his engine and cut down on fuel consumption. He was content to play tortoise to Jones's hare, drive at a steady pace and allow Parnelli to pull away-gambling that the turbine car would break down before the 500 miles were...
...m.p.h. and fat, soft tires-enabling it to land on small unimproved dirt fields that cannot be used by other jets. At cruising altitude, one of the three jet engines can be throttled back to idling position and virtually closed down without contributing extra drag, thus saving fuel. For all of these reasons, U.S. airline executives believe that the little jet is designed for short-haul work in Africa, Latin America and the Far East, a market that should be good for plenty of YAKs...
...investment he needs for development, he has quietly shifted his allegiance from Red China to Russia, which is far more able to afford North Korea's aid requirements. Along the way, his government is going deeper and deeper into hock to Russia; without Russian fuel, all North Korean jets would be grounded and a complete cutoff in aid would probably cripple the country. Kim has also made a bitter enemy of Peking; wall posters have denounced him as "a traitor to the worker class and a disciple of Khrushchev" -a Communist leader that Kim could never abide...
