CITATION FOR LETTERS OF

/ CHICAGO.—The aTmy Is building
a new high speed aircraft for re
search on flight faster than the
speed of sound, army air forces re
vealed here.
Col. Philip B. Klein told the
American Society of Mechanical
Engineers that the new plane »
still a military secret but may haVe
swept-back wings and be tailless or
semi-tailless.
At present, planes approaching a
speed of 760 miles an hour, which is
the rate at which sound waves
travel at sea level, se^m to hit a
barrier of air piling up ahead of the
wings.
„To date, planes have been unable
to pierce the wall but the new re
search points to success. Colonel
Klein said.
The air forces now uses a rocket
powered experimental plane known
as the XS-1. It is launched in the
air from a B-29 “mother.”
“The XS-1 has erroneously been
described as designed for super
sonic flight,” the A.A.F. engineer-
aviator siid.
“In reality it was designed to ex
plore the transonic region and pro
vide us with actual flight data
which might enable us to build a
supersonic airplane carrying man.”
Dr. J. M. Zucrow, professor of
jet-propulsion at Purdue university,
told the convention that man-carry
ing Fobket ships capable of shooting
out beyond the pull of gravity can
be developed as soon as problems
of cooling and controls are solved.
He added that this development
will not need to await the use of
atomic power.
„ A multi-step rocket, constructed
so each step or section drope away
as soon as its propellant is ex
hausted, could be developed with
available materials and fuels.

The British Empire and the United
States are withholding from other
countries all details of a new weap
on said to equal the atom bomb in
deadliness.
Work by a team of New Zealand,
British and American scientists on
the weapon was said to be continu
ing.
Existence of the weapon was re
ported with the announcement that
Prof. T. D. J. Leech of Auckland,
described as the leading figure in
the project, had been decorated by
King George.
It was understood the new weapon
could be applied in a number of
ways, one of them being similar to
an atom bomb.
Research did not reach the stage
of practical application during the
war. informants said, but has pro
gressed since then.
Development to a state of prac
tical application has not cost nearly
as much as producing atomic en
ergy, it was stated.
Without discounting the weapon’s
effectiveness, they said, it does not
offer such a threat to world peace
as the atom bomb.
The idea for the weapon came
from a Wellington, N. Z., man who
passed it on to the army in De
cember, 1943.
