New oversize trailer for war workers. Interior of the new oversize bus trailer built almost entirely of non-critical material and designed by Office of Defense Transportation and War Production Board officials with cooperation of private companies. Containing eighty-seven seats(twenty-four drop seats will be installed later), the trailer has a seating capacity nearly three times that of an ordinary city bus and twice that of the largest type of street car. It's one solution to the problem of transporting defense workers from cities to outlying industrial plants

Production. Airplane manufacture, general. Huge drop hammers work day and night forming sheet metal parts for United Nations bombers and fighters at the Inglewood, California, plant of North American Aviation, Incorporated. The heavy hemp rope is used to snub the hammer so that it forms the part under proper pressure and rises clear of the work after each operation. This plant produces the battle-tested B-25 ("Billy Mitchell") bomber, used in General Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, and the P-51 ("Mustang") fighter plane, which was first brought into prominence by the British raid on Dieppe

This diagram illustrates the Space Shuttle mission sequence. The Space Shuttle was approved as a national program in 1972 and developed through the 1970s. Part spacecraft and part aircraft, the Space Shuttle orbiter, the brain and the heart of the Space Transportation System (STS), required several technological advances, including thousands of insulating tiles able to stand the heat of reentry over the course of many missions, as well as sophisticated engines that could be used again and again without being thrown away. The airplane-like orbiter has three main engines, that burn liquid hydrogen and oxygen stored in the large external tank, the single largest structure in the Shuttle. Attached to the tank are two solid rocket boosters that provide the vehecile with most of the thrust needed for liftoff. Two minutes into the flight, the spent solids drop into the ocean to be recovered and refurbished for reuse, while the orbiter engines continue burning until approximately 8 minutes into the flight. After the mission is completed, the orbiter lands on a runway like an airplane. n/a
