Even as it rolled out toward take off, its fuselage had the swift, forward-straining look that is a jet-age hallmark. But its wings stuck almost straight out from its sides with the leisurely air of an old-fashioned puddle jumper. The contradiction is designed to make General Dynamics' slow-fast F-111A fighter-bomber the forerunner of a whole new breed of military aircraft operating in two worlds of speed...
Warm Water or Jet Stream. But by week's end the Pacific High was knitting itself together again and West Coast weathermen were trying to spot the original cause of the trouble. Some of them blamed the jet stream, the belt of high-altitude wind that blows around the planet in mid-latitudes. It has been unusually swift this winter, reaching speeds of 150 m.p.h., and has crossed the U.S. in an unusual pattern, curving down from western Alaska to Southern California and then slanting up to Chicago. It may have had some influence on low-altitude weather...
...Orange Bowl, and it will take an operation to correct it. Werblin is springing for that too. And just to make sure Joe can transport all that money to the bank, Sonny threw in a Lincoln Continental. Reporters naturally inquired about the color. "Pink?" they asked. Uh, uh. "Jet green," said Namath smartly, and went charging on down to Mobile for the Senior Bowl game. He was slightly less than sensational-passing for one TD but three interceptions as the North and South played...
...fertile brains of German scientists gave the world its first military missiles and jet planes. After the war, the U.S. took over the technological lead, bringing its vast resources to bear on rocketry and space exploration. Last week an important corporate alliance joined the two traditions. In another of the expansion moves by U.S. firms that have so irritated many Europeans, Seattle's Boeing Co., the foremost U.S. producer of strategic-weapons systems, acquired a one-third interest in Bölkow GmbH, West Germany's most avant-garde aerospace research and development firm (1963 sales: $23.5 million...
Merging his brainpower with somebody else's capital has already become a successful formula for Founder Ludwig Bölkow, 52, who designed Messerschmitt's earliest jet fighter during World War II. When Germany resumed aircraft and arms production in 1956, Bölkow lined up $306,000 in capital from a Hamburg banker, shifted his tiny Stuttgart engineering firm into the development of complete weapons systems. First came the Cobra, a tank-killer rocket that was adopted by the German army, was sold to Denmark and Italy, and got Bölkow into antitank and antiaircraft rocket...
