Show 1500 Miles An Hour The prediction that aircraft will travel 1000 or 1500 miles per hour, "within the next ten or fifteen years," comes from Peyton Pey-ton Magruder, who designed the Marauder medium bomber. The engineer points out that the German V-2 goes much faster than fifteen hundred miles per hour and travels sixty miles high. He is confident that technical difficulties will be licked and asks "what would prevent you from putting passengers in it and sending them off on a trip." We have no answer. Such speed through the air will eventually arrive and it will be discovered that the human body is con-j structed to "take it." |
