...industry's eleven companies are also working on some major innovations. Lockheed is experimenting with an odd-looking, stub-winged plane that takes off as a helicopter with rotors spinning overhead, folds the rotors into its body, then flies on at speeds of up to 500 m.p.h.

Last month at Eglin, President Kennedy laughed aloud during a spectacular, jet-packed Air Force show when a venerable Air Commando C-47 shot sharply into the sky belching smoke from JATO rocket boosters. But the Air Commandos are no laughing matter...
