The propeller-driven craft, us ing Internal combustion engines, run into mysterious barriers when It is stepped up to 400 or 500 miles an hour. But at such speeds, says Hibbard, jet propul sion is just beginning to bo really efficient. "Will jet- propulsion make it possible to surpass the speed of sound?" Mr. Parrish asked. "Wo find that air behaves In a strange manner when it passes over a wing surface at speeds in the range of the speed of sound about 703 miles per hour," Mr. Hibbard told him. "This phenom enon of compressibility affects every surface of the airplane, and tho propeller is affected first be cause the speed of tho tips of the propeller is much faster than the speed of the plane. Compressi bility causes a violent vibration or buffeting. We can't explain the phenomenon successfully, al though we have theories as to what, happens. "Unlimited" Spoed "Once this compressibility range is passed, however, there theoretically is no limit to the speeds we can attain. But speeds surpassing the speed of sound are probably impractical close to the ground where planes are (beth el cd by the problem of overcom ing air resistance. "Planes of the future, there fore, probably will fly out of the earth's ' heavy atmosphere to heights of 1 (JO miles above the ground, where air resistance is negligible. Speeds at that alti tude will have no limits caused by air resistance. "Probably such high-flying air planes of the future will be rocket-propelled. The Germans had a rocket plane, the Mossrsehmitt 163, which had no ceiling except that Imposed by a limited fuel capacity and the effect of pres sure on the pilot." Mr. Hibbard predicts that jet propulsion will be introduced, roinewhat more slowly, for small private planes. He looks for an interim of eight or 10 years dur ing which both transport and private planes flying at speeds under 500 miles an hemr will use the internal combustion engine, while those exceeding that speed will be powered by jet propul sion. "I believe," he says, "the recip rocating engine will have disap peared from all new planes after eight or 10 years." Jet power, he predicts, will solve many of the problems that now make helicopters expensive and difficult to build, as well as costly and dangerous to operate. He suggests that the power be made to spurt downward out of the tips of the rotor blades like "a lawn sprinkler upside down." When and if jet propulsion as sumes the great importance fore seen by Mr. Hibbard, it should enhance the present leadership of this country in the aviation field, because the United States is far out in front of the rest of the world in jet development. Jet propulsion, Mr. Hibbard points out, is only eight years old. 11 was held up, part of that time, by metallurgical problems. From now on, be believes, the pi ogress of jet power will be very rapid. Wooden artificial limbs are quickly becoming things of the past. Modern artificial limbs are being made from plasties, al though hands and knees are still made from bass wood and the joints from metal.
