History repeated itself in the skies over Lakehurst, N.J., last week. Just three-quarters of a mile from where the hydrogen-filled dirigible Hindenburg exploded into flames in 1937, killing 36, an experimental airship known as the Heli-Stat apparently lost power, crashed and burned during a test flight at the U.S. Naval Air Engineering Center. One of the five civilian crew members was killed...
...hybrid aircraft made up of four Sikorsky SH-34J helicopters attached to a helium-filled blimp, the Heli-Stat was the brainchild of Frank Piasecki, 66, a pioneer in helicopter development. Patented in 1961, the Heli-Stat could not find a sponsor until 1979, when Piasecki received backing from the U.S. Forest Service to build a vehicle for lifting lumber from remote forests. But development costs ballooned from an original estimate of $6.7 million to over $31 million, and the Heli-Stat managed to fly successfully for the first time only last April. The latest Lakehurst disaster may take...
Ralph: Wrong, beloved helpmate. In fact, the author of the journal's piece, a sexologist named Heli Alzate, says that his own studies show no evidence of any such sexually sensitive tissue in the vaginal wall where the G spot is alleged to be. These are dark days for G spotologists, my dear. Ernst Grafenberg discovered his spot in the late '40s. But after many exhausting years in the lab stimulating all those hired prostitutes and cutting up all those cadavers, there's still no convincing evidence. But then, sexology is not an exact science. Who says sexologists should...
Video equipment is much in evidence, and a helicopter-mounted, gyro-stabilized TV camera could make for a strangely deracinated war: with a fleet of these Heli-Teles swarming over the combat zone, a commander can sit behind the lines and watch the action on color television...
Winnebago, which at this stage is still demonstrating the Heli-Home, has dropped it into 10 major cities from Los Angeles to Miami-to universal amaze. For the man who has everything, or the company that wants something more, the Heli-Home may indeed outclass the private jet as a practical, all-purpose, tax-deductible vehicle that is not just a toy. Or, for $10.000 a week, plus pilot's salary, plus gas (75 gal. per hour), the party thrower or corporate showman can rent an H-H and be up and away...
