HUMAN BODY IS ABLE TO STAND TERRIFICSPEED 5.000-Mile Pace in Rocket Airplane Is Possible, Doctor Believes. By Times Spccuil NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—lncredible airplane speeds, enabling man to encircle the globe in five hours, are predicted for a dozen years hence by Fritz von Opel, famous German experimenter and the first man in the world to ride a rocket plane. Man-made meteors, capable of 5,000 miles an hour speeds, will be common in 1942, he says. Will the human body, so long used to traveling slowly, be able to adapt itself to such paces? Somewhere on the skyways, has nature posted a speed limit beyond which it will be fatal for men to go? These questions were put to Dr. Harold J. Cooper, one of America’s leading specialists in that rising branch of science which studies the effect of flying on the human system, aviation medicine, writes George Lee Dowd Jr. in the February Popular Science Monthly. Dr. Cooper is assistant medical director of the bureau of areO'

When you ride in a cabin plane, the body of air inside moves along with you. “You feel no different when you axe going fast than when you are going slow'. You could move through space at a terrific pace without the slightest body discomfort. “It never is straight forward speed that produces bad effects upon the human system. It is rapid acceleration in speed, sudden charges in altitude, and sharp turns. High speed planes will have to gain momentum gradually. “In open-cockpit ships, sudden changes in pressure due to alteratioons in height cause the ears to hurt. But in a sealed cabin, changes in altitude would have no effect.” The greatest danger that results

from high speeds, said Dr. Cooper, comes from centrifugal force, driving objects away from the center of curvature. This force can knock out a flier with the suddenness of a bolt of lightning. When a turn is made too fast, the blood is driven downward. The brain, deprived of nourishment, momentarily ceases to function and unconsciousness results. Meanwhile, the heart Is straining to force the blood back to the brain. The blood is congested in the lower part of the body. In a present-day plane, all this is ov*r in a split second. But no one can predict the exact effect of making turns at the tremendous speeds now forecast for the future.
