MAKE PROGRESS (Coatiwed Fr«m o*«) splitting atoms. But it reported that actual development of atomic aircraft glnea —by the General Electric Co.—has "advanced” In. the put fix months. And it said “the theoretical feasibility of nuclearpowered fijght’i has definitely ,been established!. ? • * Atomic engines ih theory could drive airplanes many times around the globe without refueling. \ And because they would not require oxygen or any conventional fuels, they could fly at tremendous speed at heights not now' attainable. The atomic airplane Is, however, "very much behind" the atomic submarine, according to Dr. Lawrence R. Hatetad, head of the AEC’s reactor division. One atomic qub engine Is well under construction at \ the ARCO reactor station and design of a second is tar advanced. But, Hafstal was vague as to when they will "be completed and said he intends to become "vaguer and vaguer” as the completion date approaches.
