...apron of its Bethpage, L.I. flying field, Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corp. last week showed off its newest Navy plane, the 52F-I, a submarine killer. The 52F-I, powered by two Wright 1,450-h.p. piston engines, looks like a lumpy cigar and is built for range, not speed. But it is probably crammed with more electronic gear than any other U.S. warplane; its search equipment can locate a completely submerged submarine by picking up the sub's magnetic field. And when it finds a sub, it has a type of guided missile to blast...
...Thunderstreak, a swept-wing version of the F-84 Thunderjet, the top fighter-bomber in Korea and a mainstay of the NATO air force. Capable of 700 m.p.h., the new Thunderstreak is powered by Britain's Sapphire engine, made in the U.S. by Curtiss-Wright (TIME, Oct. 16, 1950). It can carry a small atom bomb, has a range of more than 2,000 miles (considerably more than the current Thunder jet), and can be refueled in flight for still greater distances...
...Super Connie gets its extra speed and range from four of Curtiss-Wright's new 3,250 h.p. turbo-compounded engines, which use the previously wasted exhaust blast to whirl three small turbine wheels, giving 20% more power to the propeller shaft. With them, the Super Connie reaches a cruising speed of 340 m.p.h., or 13 miles faster than the non-compounded Super Connies already being flown by Eastern Airlines and T.W.A. The U.S. Navy will get the first model late this month. In March, Lockheed will deliver the first commercial model to Royal Dutch Airlines...
Evan G. Galbraith and James S. Gratton will argue for the Scott Club, upholding the law's constitutionality. The other third year members of the Scott Club are Milton C. Boesel, Jr., Donn W. Carlsmith, Thomas R. H. Howarth, Paul C. Lambert, Richard L. Ottinger, and Charles C. Wright...
...everything since. Cox's solution will be three brief scenes bringing the U.S. up to the age of flight: 1) Union and Confederate soldiers shaking hands after the Civil War, 2) the gun crew of a U..S. warship in the Spanish-American War, and 3) Orville Wright taking off in his fresh-air biplane with his brother Wilbur running alongside, steadying a wing...
