from Energy Seen As Boon N, To Aircraft
Engineer Predicts i Non-Stop Flight Around the World |
Atomic energy as a source of
achieve a result of unobtainable with standard fuels, Andrew Kalitinsky, chief engineer of Fairchild Engine & Airplane Corp. NEPA project, sald here last nigh
t. ‘Addressing the Indiana Section of the Society of Automotive En-| gineers at the Antlers Hotel, Mr.! Kalitinsky, attached to the Fair: ¢hild project at-Oak Ridge, Tenn, said application of nuclear power may eventually make possible a supersonic bomber- capable of flyfng around the world without a stop. “We have not manufactured an atomic power plant for air¢ raft,” | Mr. Kalitinsky asserted, “but we
velopment of atomic energy as a source of, power calls for active co-operatibn of both scientists and engineers if successful applic ation| of this power is to be made.”
Cites Limitations
The engineer pointed out def nite limitations onthe possible} performance of chemically fueled | aircraft, since the required gross| weight of the plane increases with | both range and speed. “The development of atomic| power for aircraft is not a simple undertaking,” Mr, Kalitinsky said, | *but there are several basic types] of power plants that can be] adopted to utilize this power for | propulsion of aircraft.” High temperatures present one of the problems lying in the path of practical atomic aircraft power plants, the speaker said. Unlike chemically fueled engines, high thermal efficiency is not the primary reason for wanting high temperatures in a nuclear engine, it was explained. Specific fuel.consumption is of vital importance in a chemically fueled engine. However, for a fuel with a heatting value of 40 billion BTU per pound (like uranium), specific fuel consumption if vanishingly small from a performance stand-|
t. Weight Is Problem Another problem is weight, the engineer sald. He explained that in an’ atomic engine it is necessary to use large amounts of inass to stop radiation emitted during the fission process. . “Atomic aircraft will have to be designed. to operate at very high speeds to take full advantage of the special characteristics of atomic power. It will have to be designed for an extremely high) Janding weight since. practically
be a large airplane. The crew will have to be placed as far as pos-| sible from the nuclear rejcter to
tions.” ! He concluded by saying the
and nobody should expect to see| an atomic-powered rocket taking off for the moon this Year or next.”
