...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. Vertol is designing a tilt-winged aircraft that also lifts off as a copter, with its wings in a vertical position, then speeds forward as the wings are tilted horizontally and propellers take over to pull it along. Hughes's experimental XV-9A shoots hot gases out of rotor-tip vents for increased power...
...decrease in pressure during ascent from the deeps may not be compensated quickly enough-and inequality of pressure in the two ears may upset the sense of balance. In the severe cases reported to Lundgren, some divers said that the surface or the bottom of the sea appeared to tilt at an odd angle, then rotate slowly and even start spinning rapidly. An obvious warning: people who have just had colds should avoid diving...
...Tilt Test. Among the most encouraging postflight medical findings was the almost total absence of any symptoms of orthostatic hypotension-a condition that could result from weightlessness and lead to an increase in the heart rate, coupled with a sharp drop in blood pressure. Doctors have always feared that this could cause the spacemen to faint under the high G forces of reentry. But Cooper and Conrad stayed alert during both the re-entry and the many postflight tests. Every day the astronauts were strapped prone to a tilt table, then swung rapidly into a vertical position. The sudden jolt...
...notably My Life to Live and A Woman Is a Woman. In this, as in most of his other films, he exhibits an irresistible weakness for obtrusion, visual puns, inside jokes and all sorts of self-indulgent photographic whimsies, such as irrelevantly shooting a sequence at a 90° tilt...
