Washington. OP) — A 1,500-mile-
nn-hour airplane engine — dubbed
the Plying Stovepipe — has been
successfully flown, the Navy has
revealed.
Originally planned to power
guided missiles (pilotless flying
bomba) the revolutionary ram Jet
engine has no moving parts weighs
only seventy pounds and looks like
a long piece of pipe. But it devel-
ops between 2,000 and 3.000 horse-
power — as much as a convention-
al big bomber engine.
The ram Jet engine has been
flown only in pilotless experiments
and has not yet been installed in
an airplane.
The tests have been conducted
with the Stovepipe hurling
through the air on its own, after
being boosted to working speed by
rockets. Plight speeds, character-
istics and technical data were ra-
dioed back from the engine in
flight to the researchers conduct-
ing the experiments through a
complicated electronics telemeter-
ing method.
The Johns Hopkins laboratory
which aided in the development
said the engine has been successful-
ly flown at speeds exceeding 1,400
miles an hour.
Developed under the code name
Bumblebee, the engine scoops up
air which is compressed by the
speed of the let, mixed with fuel
and ignited. The burning gases
shooting from the rear end of the
pipe develop a terrific thrust.
Because it takes axygen from the
air, unlike the V-2 robot bomb en-
gine which has to carry Its own, it
could pack a heavier explosive
punch or have a longer range, the
Navv explained.
The main disadvantage of the
Stovepipe is that it works at high
speeds only. Catapults or auxiliary
rockets are used to boost it up to
its efficient operating speed.
The Navy envisioned ram jets of
the future — not as the sole power
plant of an airplane — but to take
over the high speed range after
Other methods had pushed the
plane to about 800 miles an hour.
Hinting at even more fantastic
speeds and power in models still
