...ducted 7-ft. fans that the X-22A uses as props are a futuristic blend of modern metallurgy and plastic engineering-fiber-glass blades with steel cores and nickel edges. The power behind those fans is a Rube Goldberg blend of engineering-four turbojet engines feeding a total of ten different gearboxes. The barrel-like ducts, along with their -big props, can be rotated by separate hydraulic motors. With the ducts horizontal and the props pointing forward, the X-22A should be capable of more than 300 m.p.h. in level flight; with ducts rotated to a vertical position, the ship...

...California's Atomics International, who built SNAP-10A for the Atomic Energy Commission, produced a machine like nothing now working on earth. Its fuel is 4.75 kilograms (10.5 lbs.) of uranium 235, the nuclear explosive used in the first atomic bomb. Packed into 37 tubes of heat-resistant nickel alloy, the fuel is mixed with zirconium hydride, which acts as a moderator, slowing down the high-energy neutrons released by fissioning atoms of U 235. The heat of the reactor is carried away by a sodium-potassium alloy (NaK) that turns to liquid at 48°F. A beryllium...
