Murray & Hillman added up their gains, convinced Homer Martin that he might as well convene his board and get it over. He capitulated...
...indicated that any propeller's effectiveness reaches a limit when the speed of its blade tips surpasses the speed of sound (at sea level, 780 m.p.h.; at 20,000 ft., 500 m.p.h.). When propeller tips reach the speed of sound, they find themselves in a sort of dead heat with the sound waves they are generating. These waves, unable to get away from a source traveling just as fast, jam up around the propeller tips in clusters sometimes referred to as "compressible burbles," creating as much of a drag as if the propeller had suddenly been transformed into...

Three hundred times larger than the earth, containing more matter than all the other planets combined, Jupiter takes twelve years to complete its ponderous revolution around the sun. Far from the centre of the solar system, Jupiter receives little heat, has a small core of solid rock, surrounded by a frozen ocean, thousands of fathoms deep. Thick clouds hide from astronomers the furious storms that rack the planet, scarring its face with wide bands of purple, red and brown...
