...changes its frictional effects and causes the torpedo to turn. In a rocket flying through the atmosphere, the control jets of a fluidic stabilization system are attached to vents in the rocket's nose cone. As the attitude of the rocket be gins to change, the nose vents gulp in air at different pressures, and those changing pressures control a small jet of hot gases shot at right angles into the rocket's exhaust. As the exhaust gases are deflected, they correct the rocket's attitude...
...appear to have no effect on athletes' hearts. Scores of physicians from a dozen countries ran elaborate tests on the athletes in October, and the electrocardiograms were normal. The problem is simply that breathing is less efficient, or as Dr. Hanley puts it: "You get less oxygen per gulp, so you've got to take more gulps to get enough oxygen to the muscles...

To these men, I say thank you; their example gives me confidence to say that I, now a student, will become one of the "Millionaires Under 40" in the not too distant future...
...maintaining combustion in a supersonic flow of air. Using hydrogen, which has a low ignition temperature, burns rapidly and provides high thrust, they kept an experimental scramjet burning in air moving as fast as 7,000 m.p.h. By redesigning their engine's inlet to allow it to gulp air at supersonic speeds, they were also able to eliminate the excessive temperatures and pressures. And they proved that useful thrust could be produced at flight speeds in excess of 17,000 m.p.h...
