WASHINGTON, (IP)—With jet
bombers already zipping across
two oceans at a 400-mile-per-hour
clip, the United States is negotiat
ing for actual construction of the
world’s first known atom-powered
aircraft engine.
Plans for the atom-driven en

air force permission, by the Gen
eral Electric Company. A G-E
spokesman said contractural ne
gotiations for the nuclear power
, plant “are under way.”
The announcement was made
shortly after the arrival here of an
English-made Canberra jet bomb
er which stretked across the North
Atlantic Wednesday in four hours
and 40 minutes.
Then the air force disclosed that
one of its B-47 Stratojet bombers
spanned the Pacific to Honolulu
Thursday in something under six
hours for an average speed above
400 miles an hour.
While pushing its program for
development of atom-powe red

On an actual basis, such engine

short of the output of all types of
military aircraft during the peak
of World War II.
