High-Speed Stall? In the current Idlewild investigation, the CAB hopes for crash clues from the automatic flight recorder, which records time, compass heading, air speed, altitude and "g's" (acceleration) and is mandatory equipment on all jets. When found, it was flown to Washington for study at the Bureau of Standards, its aluminum tape hopefully undamaged. Interest was focused on the speed that it will show, because one theory points to what airmen call a "highspeed stall" as the cause of the accident...
...stalling speed of a 707 flying straight and level and loaded to 250,000 lbs. is about 196 m.p.h. with the flaps retracted. In a turn with the wings banked at 17 degrees, the kind that jets often make when climbing away from Idlewild's runway 31-L, the stalling speed goes up to about 215 m.p.h. A 707 flying below that speed is apt to lower a wing and dive toward the ground. According to competent eyewitnesses, this is what American's 707 did. The stall, if it was a stall, might have been caused by retracting...
Brown went into a stall, but the Crimson recovered a rebound and came downcourt. Gene Augustines' 25 foot jumper missed and groans went up. Harvard recovered again and Joe Deering, playing the percentages, took a 30 footer that missed the basket completely. Brown also got into the act, missing a 25 footer from the corner before Brown finally scored again, and calmed down its rapidly graying coach...
...this point Yale moved into a wide open offensive pattern and began to stall. Nervous Harvard players, trying too hard for the ball, made too many mistakes and in short order Yale restored its supremacy. A last ditch effort by Borchard (who had 21 points) and Kelley was in vain...
...SOFT RECOVERY. The mildest of the four U.S. postwar recessions brought an unexpectedly modest recovery. After hitting bottom in February, the economy turned up faster than predicted, only to stall in the summer. An upsurge in the late fall sent personal income to a record. U.S. consumers finally got over their yearlong frugality as retailers did a record Christmas business, and Detroit beamed over fourth-quarter auto sales that may even top the 1955 record of 1,700,000 cars. The year's net: not much better than...
