Concluded Lippmann: in this "suction toward the moderate Center, Goldwater, who is not a fanatic of the extreme but an ambitious politician, is now in the process of reshaping himself for the political realities of this country...
...Suction! Suction...
...channels it through pin-size holes into ducts that lead to streamlined nacelles hanging under each wing. Inside each of those nacelles, a pair of light, powerful gas turbines-one for the forward part of the wing, one for the more turbulent air in the rear-generate the suction that keeps the system operating...
Northrop engineers, who have run thousands of hours of wind-tunnel tests, say that once the suction is started, there is smooth, laminar flow over both top and bottom of their new wing. Up to 80% of the friction drag is eliminated-and this figure includes compensation for the drag caused by the nacelles and for the power needed to run the turbines. With drag so drastically reduced, an airplane uses much less fuel, thus can fly farther or carry more payload. The null will not have its first flight tests until next month, but Northrop is already making...
There are several other very important methods of air intake: the suction, breathing or inhalation method, air injection by tongue and related structures, and glossopharyngeal press or plosive-injection method...
