'Bubble' Boat
Travels Above
Water Highway j
Philadelphia-HJPD-Naval and
commercial ships of the future
may ''bubble" above the wa
ter at jet-propelled speeds of
100 knots if a principle being
tested here is successful.
A nine-ton, 52-foot research
test vehicle resembling an
elongated speed boat has been
built here. It rides on a "cap
tured" air principle developed
. by Allen Ford, a physicist at
the Naval Air Development
center (NADC) at nearby
Johnsville, Pa. I
Developers said the day j
may come when the same
theory can be applied to many i
types of larger vessels, includ- j
ing the largest troop trans
ports, ocean liners and air-
craft carriers.
The theory of the Captured :
Air Bubble (CAB) vessel in-,
volves air trapped beneath the
hull of the vessel which is :
powered by a jet engine on
the stern.
The current research test '
vehicle has sideboards and
movable back and front flip-
pers extending into the water ,
which permits the hull to ride !
two or three feet above the
water-pushed up by the "cap
lured" air.
Above Deck
The jet engine is located
above deck on the stern be
tween two fins. Auxiliary
power for docking and ma
neuvering in basin areas is j
provided by a conventional
110 horsepower marine en-j
gine. j
The test vehicle, known as I
the XR-1, was built under the
direction of Walter Simmons, j
a project engineer at the i
Naval Air Engineering center I
at the Philadelphia Naval !
base.
The XR-1, with a crew of
four, made its first successful
run on the Delaware River, j
adjacent to the naval base, on
May 24 and further trials are
being conducted. :
The top speed of the experi- I
mental craft is approximately j
35 knots, which developers i
said was enuivalcnt to ap- i
. proximately 250 horsepower
in a conventional marine pro
pulsion system.
John Triem, program direc
tor, said studies of the applica
bility of the vessel would be
made during the next six
months, with the next devel
opment step a 300-ton craft.
Bus Lines Called j
On Foreign Offer !
Washington . -aw- The In
- terstale Commerce commis-
. sion has moved to adjudicate ,
complaints from foreigners
who said they were misled
by bargain bus lour adver-:
tisements.
It told the Greyhound Bus
Lines Wednesday to meet with
other bus companies lo ar
range joint rates and trans- !
fcr agreements for foreigners
taking advantage of the "$99 j
for 99 days plan." !
The plan allows foreigners
to purchase a SU9 ticket good
for transportation on the
routes of member bus lines for
99 days between any two ,
cities in the country. Howcv- i
er, Greyhound refused to ac-
ccpl transfers if the foreign-
ers bought from another com- J
pany. ' j
Foreign tourists had com
plained thai as a result, they
had been stranded or had to
pay extra lo continue their
trip.
Fresh Vegetables
Meeting Demands
Washington - HPU - The
Agriculture department said
today summer supplies of
fresh vegetables are moder
ately smaller than those of
last summer, but adequate to
meet strong demand.
If the supplies in Augdst
and September are about in
line with early indications,
the department said, prices at
the farm and across the re
tail counter arc likely lo av
erage moderately above those
of a year ago.
In a review of the vegeta
ble situation, the department
said more carrots and celery
are expected to be available
this summer than last, but
smaller supplies are in pros
pect for summer cabbage, let
tuce, sweet corn, early sum
mer potatoes, and onions.
Supplies of cantaloups and
watermelons are expected to
be moderately smaller.
