Tax Cut Package Being Prepared By Democrats
CHICAGO WW-Atom powered military planes may be flying sooner than many people think, a nuclear engineer said today, but staggering technical problems remain to be solved. A team of five engineers at General Electric's aircraft nuclear propulsion near Cincinnati gave a progress report. Dr. D. Selengal said availability of a critical assembly for study of radiation characteristics and a large scale computer have speeded up work on the propulsion design. He noted that high-performance propulsion systems in other fields took 20 to 30 years, but remaining time to blueprint a safe atomic aircraft engine could be a fraction of that.
