Eurospace Views Space Program Needs

What I am going to talk about are proposals for projects. That is to say not projects already lined up for realization but proposals for a plan of action which we consider to be sound. They are proposals from our industry, not notions of our governments, although it is, of course, our aim to convince the authorities of the correctness of our ideas in order to ensure the eventual realization of these projects.

Wheaton Outlines U. S. Industry Response

Army Employs Sikorsky CH-37 to Save Downed Aircraft

Tan Son Nhut Air Base, Vietnam— U. S. dependence on air in Vietnam ranges across the spectrum of its operational capabilities—from jet fighter strikes in the north to the recovery of downed aircraft and helicopters in the south. The prevalence of the Communist Viet Cong in the countryside of South Vietnam, and their near control of much of the road network, has forced U. S. Army aviation units here to reorganize their normal structure.

New Propulsion Vistas

The need is especially urgent to push the propulsion areas as rapidly as possible ... we must continue to advance technology at a very rapid rate. There simply can be no question about the payoffs of this kind of effort in terms of our economy and our national security.
