Olive Aldous Garrett o 0 Tan a e Hang On To Your Chimney Are you & chronic worrier? The kind that goes at it 24 hours a day, and even in your dreams? Good, The aircraft industry could use you. There‘s absolutely no sense at all in wastâ€" ing al} that energy on your own small problems . . . . why not help them in their Worry Deâ€" w partment? Just think. Instead of worrying about g whether that carboriter thing (can‘t even spell it!) in your car will blow or pop, or whatever carb‘s do, this week or next . . . . whether that back tire will last ‘til you get downtown, or what to do about the two front teeth of Junior lost playing hockey, you can take on a batch of "prestige" worries. We read in the news that we‘re on the awesome threshold of supersonic air travel; that by 1968 a French company hopes to have its Super Caravelleâ€"a twiceâ€"theâ€"speed of sound airlinerâ€"on the market, U.S. designers are aiming at 1972 with their threeâ€"timesâ€" fasterâ€"thanâ€"sound supersonic airliner. i Now, the industry is apparently finding the answers to compliâ€" cated technical questions arising out of supersonic air travel but, after all, they have to have supersonic passengers! In fact, that‘s the whole ides. Tired business men are finding the six hour trip from here to London a boring chore. They agree that the supersonic speedup, cutting the time down to 2}; hours, will be a help, (One tired business tycoon, when interviewed between planes, gave the reporter a wan smile when he heard the news. Pleased, yes, but too weary to cheer.) Now, as a supersonic passenger you‘d have worries. In fact, there‘s a list of them as long as your arm. As I said, since most of the "bugs" have been worked out, they‘re not too concerned with the answers to the technical end of it. The aircraft experts are almost ready to scorch through the skies at 1500 MPH, 15 miles up, or even 2200 MPH, if humans can take it. And that‘s just it The crux of the matter. Can we take it? Seems to me they‘ve got the cart before the horse, The old boys are spending millions (it‘s going to take $700 million I hear) deâ€" signing and tooling up for supersonic mircraft before they‘re sure the human body can cope with the psychological, not to mention the physical stress, of streaking through the upper reaches in & pressurized cabin which could blow up any second, due to a numâ€" ber of things. Well, for One thing, it‘d be mighty worrysome to sit there in that highly ozonized superâ€"dooper slim metal capsule of a plane and look out of the cabin window at the wings, realizing they are twice as hot as boiling water. Also that thousands of gallons of inflamable fuel is stored in said redâ€"hot wings! Then there‘s the "G" forces (G for gravity you know), and the VTOL (vertical takeâ€"off and landing) bumps . . . . two things which apparently could do disquieting things to your tummy. If you ask me, they have given no thought whatsoever to our innards when they can even consider any form of VTOL aircraft. Think of going straight up at supersonic speed to a height of about 45,000 feet and then, click! The pilot switches from the downwardâ€"pointed jets which blasted the plane straight up, to the rearwardâ€"facing jets, sending her forward. From vertical to horizontal in seconds! ‘Then there‘s the "G" forces. The thrills of rollerâ€"coasters and sudden stops in "down‘" elevators will apparently be infinitesimal compared to the sensations you will feel when these acceleration and decelerâ€" ation stresses are experienced. Too Much Zone Another thing which is bothering the experis is the possible toxic effects of too much ozone. Perhaps an overdose of ozone will make everybody on board lightâ€"headed, they say; in which case passengers, with nary a drink in sight, could act exactly as if they were having a big, rowdy, whoopingâ€"itâ€"up, drunken like party. That state of mind might be a good idea, for supersonic air travelâ€" lers. Then they may not be too concerned with such problems as quick time zone changes, what hot to cold and back to hot climates in a few hours‘ time is doing to their system, and the many other little (?) worrieeâ€"such as the possible leakage of microwave energy (thrown off by electronic navigational aids) which has been known to cause blindness, and that other deadly ray from outer spaceâ€" cosmic radiationâ€"which, they think, causes genetic damage. After all that, the experts ask: "Will we be physiologically disturbed?" Sonic Boom While airborne travellers in this incredible supersonic airline cra coming up worry and chew their nails as they cut a swath across the sky at twice the speed of sound, all along the flight path, on the ground, an appalling phenomenon is happening. When a plane accelerates to the speed of soundâ€"about 760 MPH at sea levelâ€"and then passes through transonic speeds to supersonic velocity, a shock wave is generated at the nose and tail of the rircraft. When the two highâ€"pressure waves converge and reach the ground, it creates a pressure rise called a "sonic boom". This boom is continuous, apparently, at supersonic speeds, but is not heard in the aircraft. Now here‘s a thought. Since it would be hard to get the number of, us c«en identify a supersonic plane flying some 70,000 feet up, who would be liable for damages? A new insurance clauseâ€"for damage caused by supersonic planesâ€"would, in all probability be a necessity. A lovely thought. It‘s inconceivable to think such a thing, but human nature being what it is, all this will eventually pall and man will be looking for more deathâ€"defying thrills. Why, I can almost picture a blastâ€" ingâ€"off platform, or whatever it‘s called, down at the "Ex" where, for a dollar or two, plus tax, plus insurance, etc. and so forth, they‘ll put you into orbit and guarantee your safe returnl What things?
