NASA Supercritical Wing Aims To Boost Jet Efficiency
NASA will test a new airfoil stripe called the supercritical wing at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The wing, developed from wind tunnel studies by Dr. Michael Whitcomb, promises higher subsonic cruise speeds near Mach 0.95 and reduced fuel use, with potential for lower operational costs on future commercial jet transports.

College to reclaim abandoned strip mine on campus
Baltimore APY Prest burg State College will receive a 365 100 grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission to reclaim an abandoned strip mine on the college campus. The project is the first of its kind and will be supplemented by 21 800 in state funds, according to Robert G Garver of the commission.

Supercritical Wing Flight Program Objectives Outlined
Requests for proposals to perform modification work will be issued by NAS Vo Pight Ree search Centers. The program aims to explore operational potential of the supercritical wing. Objectives include validating design techniques, guiding ground tests, correlating wind tunnel results with flight tests on drag rise and buffer onset, testing wing behavior in high lift maneuvers and off design performance, and assessing sensitivity to contour variations from manufacturing and flight loads.

Bowles Sees India Moves Toward Peace in Asia
Ambassador Bowles warns stability in Asia hinges on India’s success and self reliance. He cites India’s agricultural revolution, railroads, malaria control and family planning as keys, while noting concerns over population growth and education resources amid plans for foreign aid withdrawal by 1975.

Salmon Return To Ocean After Spawning
A fragmented report notes salmon moving back to the sea after spawning with rapid decline and death afterward. Details on waters and timing are unclear due to damaged text.
