Bilu's capacity is 120 cars and 528 passengers. Since the end of April, when the $6,500,000 twin-Diesel, stabilized and air-conditioned Bilu got under way, it has carried 10,000 passengers and over 1,000 cars-a success story that has set its owners to rushing the completion of a sister ship, the Nili, scheduled to be named this month. When the tourist traffic to Israel slows down in the fall, Bilu is scheduled to begin plying between Miami and Nassau, while Nili starts running between Southampton in England and Algeciras in Spain, with...

Twin blasts of air are forced downward, and their powerful thrust lifts the airplane off the ground. Transition to horizontal flight is made by gradually opening the normal tailpipe and covering the wing fans. So far the XV-5A has been tested only in conventional flight. If the XV-5A succeeds...
...magnet attracting the magnet in another sphere that levitates upward, tethered by a thread. Each open end of the sculpture gives out a sound like a giant sea shell humming with the rhythm of breakers. If the viewer steps back a few paces, the interior spheres look like twin, lightless moons haunting the barren landscape of a science-fiction planet...
