Pilots May Use
Slurry or Exotic
With Right Cermet
Aircraft technology is moving
so rapidly that the English lan
guage is proving inadequate for
the expression of ideas. As a re
sult, new words are being coined
and old ones are getting secon
dary meanings in the conversa
tions and writings of scientific
aircraft personnel.
Because the thermal barrier is
proving a challenge, frequently
causing conventional metals to
melt, engineers are seeking light
weight materials which can with
stand high temperatures.
Some researchers are convinced
the best solution lies in a combin
ation of ceramics and metals.
Thus the word “cermets” is rap
idly becoming accepted as the ex
pression for ceramic-metal mater
ials.
Similarly, researchers are work
ing on fuels which can provide
more thrust and take up less
space in tanks. These are known
as "exotic” or non-hydrocarbon
fuels and include such chemicals
as boron, hydrogen and lithium.
Other fuel studies involve the
suspension of powdered metals
in liquid solutions in an effort to
produce more thrust. The mix
ture of liquid and powdered met
al is called a “slurry.”
On the colorful side, a Chinese
landing is one accomplisred with
one wing low. The greenhouse is
where bombadiers ride. The non
flying personnel compose the
chairborne troops.
A hangar pilot is one who does |
his best “flying” in conversation. |
A fin is a vertical stabilizer. Bug I
juice is the fluid that de-ices i
frosted-over propellers. You don’t!
hang wash on a clothes line; that j
is the radio antenna.

THE NUGGET
B.C. Has Route Ready for
Pacific Great Eastern
Railway to Alaska
VICTORIA, B.C., —'The pro
vincial government is waiting
with a route all ready should the
United States decide to join Brit
ish Columbia in pushing the Pa
cific Great Eastern Railway
north to Alaska.
Details of the selected route,
up the Rocky Mountain trench
north from Prince George, were
disclosed Friday.
Possibility of extending the
government-owned PGE was giv
en added impetus Thursday when
President Eisenhower signed a
bill setting up an Alaska Interna
tional Rail and Highway Commis
sion to study the feasibility of
transportation links between tire
U.S. and Alaska.
Cost of the project is estimated
at $120,000,000.
The route would start at Fort
McLeod, on the present northern
extension under construction, and
travel in a northwest direction to
Lower Post, Watson Lake, Daw
son, and across the Alaska boun
dary at Eagle.
U.S. Army Engineers in 1942
surveyed a route for a railroad
from Prince George to Kobi, Al
aska, but World War II forced
abandonment of the project and
the Alaska Highway was built in
stead.
