NEW AIR DEVICES
TWICE SPEED OF SOUND
Rec. 9 a.m.
NEW YORK, October 28
The Curtiss Wright Corporation announced that it had developed several special flying devices which were achieving speeds of more than 1400 miles an hour —almost twice the speed of sound.
Dr. C. C. .Furnas, research director of the corporation, said that military requirements prevented him from giving any details about' the devices, but they were not rockets and not artillery shells. At present, the devices were not carrying pilots, "but we are wprking on this," Dr. Furnas said. "We think the value of this development will be largely military. Such speeds are too fast for commercial use."
