Will Shoot Rocket
Straight Up
Twenty-Five Miles
CHICAGO, (/P) — Zoom! And
straight up some 25 miles man
will ride in a proposed rocket
powered winged missile.
The rocket, says a Chicago re
searcher, will reach its peak al
most at the limit of the earth’s
atmosphere. Then, he said, it will
glide safely back to earth. It will
be called the first “space” ship.
The man-carrying rocket is be
ing developed by Eugene A. May
nor, veteran rocketeer and chemi
cal and mechanical engineer.
1 Plans for the development and
launching of the winged rocket
were disclosed by Maynor to a
war veteran group last night.
He said his rocket ship should
reach a speed of 1,400 miles an
hour on its upward flight, under
impetus of second of power.
It should continue upward for an
other 60 seconds at 700 mph., in
dicating a possible maximum alti
tude of between 30 and 36 miles.
After the fuel is exhausted and
its speed slower, Maynor said, the
rocket will become a fully con
trollable glider.
