Arms seizures at . Airports up in first half of 85, Faa says Washington up weapons seizures Rose at the nation s airports in the first half of 1985, with authorities confiscating 1,448 firearms the Federal aviation administration says. The Agency said the number of weapons taken away at the facilities jumped 14 percent Over the previous period. Federal officials said they were surprised at Huw Many passengers still were trying to take weapons through air port Security. We re constantly amazed that it remains As High As it docs said Frank Farr for an Agency spokesman. He said people usually simply forget they have the weapons or they arc at lie Airport just to meet passengers. It s people quite often women who carry a gun for Protection la s not an attempt to Hijack a plane by any Means Farrar said. The seizures led to �02 arrests for weapons violations but Faa officials said they believe Only one of those individuals planned to Hijack a plane. Space teacher Chrisla Mcauliffe says she s looking Fornard to the Jan. 23 Blastoff of the shuttle. Space teacher outlines lessons co Corr . Up the teacher selected 10 be the first private citi7.cn to Fly in the space shuttle has confessed that merry go rounds make her queasy but  she has no qualms about her Jan. 23 Blastoff. Social studies Tencher Chrisla Mcauli pc who will con duct live televised lessons while orbiting the Kanh at More than 17,500 Mph said she Hopes her historic Mission makes people realize that space is for  during a final visit Home for the holidays in new Hampshire s capital City Mcauliffe outlined her lessons one of which she vails the ultimate Field trip Mcauliffe said the lesson will provide viewers with a glimpse into daily life aboard the shuttle including a Lour of the bathroom and Kitchen facilities. We be had a lot of questions about that Maui iffy said about the bathroom. It looks very similar to what we have a i  a second lesson will show the More scientific Side of space travel explaining technological advances that have evolved from the space program. Both lessons will be Tele Vised on the sixth Day of the Mission by the Public Broad casting service. Mcauliffe said her Concord High school students will be Able to ask her questions about the lessons through a Telephone Hookup. Stic said students at Mccall Donnelly elementary school in Idaho where Nasa s backup candidate for the shuttle Mission Barbara Morgan leaches will also be allowed to ask questions. Macau Lily was selected us the primary candidate for the flight from More than 11,000 applicants last july and has been mining since sept. 9 at the Johnson space Center in Houston. Mcauliffe said the most difficult part of her training has been being Nway from her husband and two Young children. She said she would Lade one of her husbands rings and her son s stuffed toy Frog on the flight. Her most difficult experience during the training has been being enclosed in a collapsed steeping bag to test her Ijar Claustrophobia. Mcauliffe said the close quarters on the shuttle Are like putting six people in a Pup  out she said she has no worries about he liftoff despite an aversion to any Type of amusement rides that go  Mcauliffe a Iid she would give herself an a for Effort during the space Agency training course. Research helping usher in age of hypersonic lets new York not tremendous Progress in the design of a new ulass of Jet engines Knorton As scram Juls is propel Ling the fantasy of a hypersonic plane out of the Twilight one toward reality. For years research on these jets also knit in As supersonic combustion Ramjet has bubbled along in Federal research laboratories on a shoestring budget. Weeks ago the president s science adviser and the chief of research and development for the air Force disclosed that they were ready to commit a half billion dollars Over the next three years to refinement of the engine technology in hones of developing a plane that could Cross the country in 12 minutes and Circle the Globe in 90. If the Effort works it could Mark the most significant change in air plane design since the invention of he Jet. Air Force officials Siy scam acts May make it possible for a plane to Lake off from an Ordinary runway and quickly accelerate to Mach 12 or even much 2i. Wilh the Aid of an on Board rocket Booster the plane could even propel itself into orbit paving the Way for a new less expensive Way of launching and retrieving satellites. The uses Are limitless maj. Gen. Don Ald a Kutyna said recently. Transport and reconnaissance arc obvious Mes. But the Prospect of an engine thai works so efficiently find does t encounter the costs of launching a rocket or even the space shuttle is one that we d be foolish to  most Jet air planes use conventional Lur bowels which suck in air and dump it into a Turbine powered compressor. The com pressed air is then mixed Wilh fuel and ignited sending a jul of hot gases out the Back nozzle. The process is idea for subsonic travel but it runs into limits at speeds approaching Mach 3. The weight of the compressors one of a plane s heaviest components drags Down the Speed of the air Craft. More important the temperature of combustion and aerodynamic heating rises so precipitously a i High speeds that engines begin to melt upsetting nervous pilots scram jets however require no compres sors. Instead air flowing through the engine at supersonic speeds compresses itself because of the rain action familiar to anyone holding his hand outside the win Dow of a speeding ear of air from the outside colliding against the engine. The self compressed air is then mixed with fuel and burned. However As researchers at the National aeronautics and space administration have teamed in a decade of research it s not that easy. The air moves so Fust that it becomes a  reports Robert a. Jones chief of the High Speed aerodynamics division at Nasa s land Ulcy research Cen Ter in Hampton a. You have to mis the air with the fuel and have it react in just a few milliseconds. That s barely enough time Tor  the answer. Nasa engineers say is to fill the tanks Wilh liquid Hydrogen which Burns much faster than hydrocarbon fuels fi0rhv m a 4-j a fahrenheit the Hydrogen initially cools the engine. But Asil is fed in 10 a fuel injector taking the Brunt of the aerodynamic Healing from the ram action the liquid Hydrogen quickly heats to More than  degrees and turns into Hydrogen Gas. What we Are doing is turning the Aero dynamic heating 10 our advantage convert ing it into  said Jones Shuse  a ions have tested Stram jets up to Mach 7in wind Tunnel tests. Engine designers note however that the operating temperatures will still be so High hat new materials will probably be needed Lor key elements of the engines. To reduce Oral the engines cannot be mounted under inc Wing he a conventional Jet Nasa s plan is to nest the engines in a duct from nose to Tail on the underside of the feel for the military the embrace of scram jets Marks something of a change of heart after several years of somewhat frustrating research the services abandoned scram to research in the Early 1960s, deciding to use rockets to launch satellites and Media. Twenty five years later however scram Jcu Are starting to look More decor Mical. What we be Learned in a cent years in i Hilt rocket engines Are a terribly inefficient Way to gel things into space Kutyna said at a recent Colorado Springs colo., space conference. It nearly costs More to launch a satellite than to build  what makes rocket engines so expensive is the fact hat they require an oxidizer usually vast reservoirs of liquid oxygen to Burn their fuel. Because the jct Rajel draws its oxygen from the air however the liquid oxygen is unnecessary the result could be an inexpensive alter native to the space shuttle. But no one ii counting on that soon. Testing the engine a Feligia win take until about 1990, Nasa and air Force officials say. The major engine manufacturers such As general elec tric and Pali & Whitney have Only recently begun o come up to Speed. Then 52 billion or s3 billion More would be required to build and test a research vehicle we it sulking a Long Long time before anyone ii looking at these engines on a plane Jones said
