...among individual foil fencers with a 17-4 total, turned in victories over Brooklyn's David Blumstein (15-6), Cornell's All-Ivy Ron Schwartz (16-5) and Navy's Frey Raymond (17-4). But the Crimson foilman dropped bouts to Air Force's Gene Pottenger (11-10), Harry Pratt (11-10) of Trinity, and Mike Dwytryk (11-10) of U.C.L.A., as well as Columbia's prize sophomore Steve Weinstein...
...Pratt-and-Whitney engines are as remarkable as its wings. The two turbojets have intakes six feet in diameter that gulp enormous amounts of the thin air at high altitudes. Lightened by liberal use of titanium, the engines have hollow turbine blades made of porous material. Air or some other gas forced through the pores keeps the blades from softening, despite the fact that fuel is burned at far higher temperatures than can be tolerated by most engines. The higher temperature yields several thousand more pounds of thrust without added cost in fuel...

But its real secret lies in the metal of which it is largely made: titanium, which can withstand the searing heat that is generated in flight at many times the speed of sound. Titanium had long resisted the best efforts of engineers to fabricate it as the major metal in any aircraft...
