High Speed bullets Aid in study of outer space Dallas a Chance Vought aircraft says it has captured the title of fastest gun in Texas from any Quick shooting sheriffs marshals or gunslingers the aircraft missile company says it has bullets which travel 16,000 Mph. But the firm s scientists wish for guns that would fir with 10 times that Speed. The gun is used to determine the probably effect of meteorites on space capsules. It consists of an explosive shape to bring the full charge to a very concentrated Point. It uses the same scientific principle which permitted relatively slow moving Bazooka shells to smash holes in heavily armoured tanks in world War ii.

The Speed compares with the550 Mph of a .45-Cal pistol Bullet. Meteor speeds Range up to150,000 Mph. How to protect a space traveler against them is on of the major scientific problems. One spokesman said scientist scan calculate the Metal thickness theoretically needed to protect the space Man but the thickness would be like building an air plane out of Concrete. Vought therefore is concentrating on multilayered structures and use of lightweight honeycomb Sandwich construction. Even at the relatively slow Speed of 16,000 Mph the pellets yield valuable data on Impact characteristics a spokesman said. Top velocity we May be Able to get Pellet speeds As High As approximately 20,000 Miles an hour but that about the maximum unless we can develop another propulsion system said h. T.

As itis our speeds Are probably about the highest Man Ever has attained with an object of comparable size under Laboratory conditions the Chance of meeting a really big meteor against which there can be no adequate Protection Isone of those things and the Vought scientists say there Are always men willing to take the risk in the name of Progress.
