Arrowhead-Shapsd Interceptor Plan 4 Plan of Air Force Washi ngton (U.R) The A I r Force is preparing to order test models of an arrowhead-shaped interceptor fighter with such highly developed automatic elec tronic controls the pilot will be going along for little more than ride, informed sources have disclosed. The plane is the XF-102 which will be built 'by Consolidated Vultee Aircraft corporation. Many months are expected to elapse before it is ready for com bat. Details Top Secret The automatic pilot and fir ing system were developed by the Hughes Aircraft company. Details are top secret. But t wy were designed to put the fight er in a position te shoot down an enemy bomber at high alti tudes by radar controls. The pilot would only monitor the controls. The plane also is expected to carry a guided missile that would be fired automatically when the interceptor reaches the right distance from the bomber to be sure of a "kill." The XF-102 was designed to fly faster than sound. Sound travels at about 760 miles an hour at sea level but the rate goes down to 863 miles above 35.000 feet altitude where in terceptors probably will have to do their lethal work in any world war. The plane also was designed for a terrific rate of climb, a most important thing to an in terceptor. Informed sources said the un conventional craft will be pow ered by a Pratt and Whitney J-37 jet engine, the same powerful engine the B-32 Superbomber has. It is rated unofficially as hav ing about 10.000 pounds thrust. or horsepower, at 375 miles per hour. The equivalent horsepow er of jet engines goes up as the speed increases.
