Jets Enter New Stage With Modern Streamlined Styling Washington-llIPl) - Commer cial aviation is entering the second stage of the Jet Age featured by the "rear look." New jetliners now under development have their en gines attached to the rear of the fuselage instead of in pods suspended under the wings. Rear engine jets are noth ing new. The French-built Caravelle, which has been in operation for several years, has such an arrangement. Bri tain has six jet projects in volving the rear-engine de sign, And Boeing's new short range jetliner, the 727, will have rear engines.

HitT fiia-ra ,d 0lll aml thc dog Air Force Dogs Guard Nation's Missile Secrets Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. (UPII It was almost like any other close order drill. A sergeant barking or ders, demanding and get ting full attention, instant reaction and uniform move ment. Only the troops were dogs. Six German shepherd dogs trained by the Air Force for sentry duty at this ad vanced Missile Age base were lined up beside their handlers inside a screened pen. On command from thc sergeant they sat, stayed, heel ed lo their handlers and lay down. Thc dogs were among 22 used at this missile base to guard top secret areas. They patrol only at night. With their handlers they team up one man lo one dog the dogs are affectionate and friendly. With anybody else, they become 80 pounds of concen trated violence, capable of killing even the largest man if they are not pulled off, "Once we've trained dogs," said Airman 2C Bill Joyce, 21, Seattle, Wash., "they are nev er returned to civilian life. You can't rehabilitate them to be pets." Train Together Dogs and handlers all volunteers for the job train together at an eight - week course at Lackland Air Force Base, Tex. Then they are as signed to a home base where the training continues. "That eight-week course is sort of like grade school," ex plained Joyce. "Then high school would be when we give the dogs intermediate obedi ence here. "College is what you leach your own dog on your own time," Joyce added after pul ling his dog, Venus, through her repertoire of special tricks. Venus would roll over, play dead, walk on her back legs, salute, shake hands, and even ride piggyback on Joyce's shoulders. Moments before she had ripped inlo another handler protected by a 80-pound pad ded suit for the exercise with frightening fury. Ma), James L. LaForce, In charge of the dog training program here, said that even while on patrol, handlers keep the dogs on a leash until they want them to attack. Although the dogs boilght from private citizens for S1U0 $150 when about a year old are trained to be vicious with anyone else, they become closely attached lo their nan- more efficient wing. When en gines are placed in wing mounted pods, there is inevit able interference with the wing's lifting ability. A jet wing has slats on its leading edge to increase the lift ob tained from the normal flaps. An engineless wing means thc leading edge slots can be con tinuous instead of being inter rupted to make room for the pod structure. This is one rea son why the Caravelle can op erate from almost any airport used by piston-engine planes. Safety Bonus The rear engine design separates t lie engines from the fuel tanks in the wings, an ob vious safety bonus in the event of a crash. -There is less noise and vi bration, which means not only greater comfort tor passengers but a reduction of structural fatigue.' -There is more efficiency at News About Servicemen A 11 GRADUATED Navy Ens.

Cam eron, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Investment Funds creates potential trouble be cause the engine pods are so close lo the ground. . The rear-engine design has disadvantages, however, The fuselage must be heavier. So must tlic wing structure, be cause wingmounled engines incorporate a stress-alleviat ing factor roughly comparable lo the shock absorber on your car. Their weight gives a wine more flexibility or "give" to absorb the strains and stresses of turbulence. Become Believers But most aeronautical engi neers are convinced the vir tues of the rear engine far out weigh its faults. Thc success of the Caravelle turned a lot of skeptics into believers. Where lo put jet engines has been a bone of contention for years. Britain's pioneering jet, the Comet, was designed with the engines mounted in side the wings.
