Supersonic Statesman, Salem, Ore., Wed., May 23, 56 (SeaI)-9 WindTunnel Given Debut OPEN MONDAY AND FRIDAY 9:30 A.M. TO 9 P.M. OTHER DAYS f-.lO AM. TO 130 fM. (Picture m Wlrephete Pf) CLEVELAND GrV-The National Advisory Committee for Aeronau tics (NACA) Tuesday unveiled a new 33 million dollar supersonic wind tunnel the nation's largest for research on airplane engines ot the future. The tunnel will duplicate, (or engines and engine parts as large as five feet la diameter, air speeds from two to 31 times that of sound 1,200 to 1.800 miles an hour at altitude up to 30 miles. Few current jet aircraft operate above altitudes of about 10 miles, except for brief intervals. The NACA, as the top government asency for research on aircraft and engines, keeps its eyes, how ever, on requirements for the years ahead rather than on cur rent air operations. Fli(ht Prppulsiaa Lab The new wind tunnel, 10 feet by 10 feet, is a part of the NACA's Lewis Flight Propulsion Labora tory at Cleveland Airport. The new facility is called the Lewis unitary plan supersonic wind tunnel. The unitary plan refers to co operative use with industry and the armed forces. Most Powerful NACA told visitors at the first public inspection of the new fa eility that the tunnel's 250.000 horsepower electric-motor drive is the most powerful of its kind in the world. It produces the air speed of up to 3'j times the sped of sound, and unprecedented velocity for tunnels that large. Dr. Edward R. Sharp, director of the laboratory, said the new tunnel is valuable particularly for work on problems of turbo-jets and ram-jet engines. He said engines and parts as large as five feet in diameter may be studied in the 10 foot square test section. An even larger super-sonic wind tunnel is under construction at the Air Force Arnold Engineering De velopment Center at Tulahoma, Tenn , but it will not be com pleted for year or more. The facility here went into ope ration recently after a "shake down" of several months. Beatification Of Pope XI Near at Hand VATICAN CITY un-The Congre gation of Rites took a semi-final step Tuesday toward the beatifi cation of Pope Innocent XI, a 17th Century pontiff who was known as "The Father of the Poor." - Meeting with Pope Pius XII in the Vatican Palace, It approved as miracles the reported curing of two Italians a man and a- run through intervention of Pope In nocent in 1690, a year after his death. Vatican sources said Pope In nocent, born Benedetto Odescal chi, probably will be proclaimed among the Roman Catholic Church's blessed at a ceremony Sunday, June 17. Such beatifica tion is regarded as second only to sainthood. India exports 25 million dollars worth of cashew nuts a year. "Paul says a peach !"
