Viikkosanomat, June 17, 1985

              Flying Saucers are on the wäy
For many years we'we had reports of so-call- ed Unidentified Flying
Objects (UFO's)
As a rule those who clalm to have seen them report tremendous
speeds ability to maneuver as no jet-pla- ne can weird lights etc
Usually the UFO has a shape like a saucer
In ourphoto is a saucer-shape- d flying machine now being prepared
in USSR It's for real It's on the way
The artisfs drawing above
shovvs that this "flying mac-hine"
is about 1000 feet across
(diameter)
Those small things on the
edge of the "saucer" are stan-dard
Soviet turbo-j- et engines
four of them drive the saucer in
any desired direction So this
"UFO" isn't going to fly at
5000 miles per hour and it isn't
driven by exotic nuclear-rock- et
engines
It's freighter That round
thing in its centre is a unique
loading-unloadin- g "ramp" It is
lovvered 1 20 feet down to earth
(when the ship is docked) and is
strong enough to allow bulldo-zer- s
excavators trucks etc to
be driven to the ground on this
odd-ba- ll ramp
When unloading is done the
ramp is sucked up into the ship
for flying away for another load
This identified flying object
is being prepared for test-fligh- ts
at the Moscow Aviation Insti-tute
(you see the Russian in-iti- als
on the "saucer") Intended
ed to lift 1 500 tons An airship
(dirigible) to handle that load
vvould have to be 2400 feet long
(cigar-shape- d)
Most important: the MAI
craft is made of light fleible
plastic film In contrast to the
heavy rigid framework of air-shi- ps
In fact the MAI saucer is
a huge plastic container blovvn
to saucer-shap- e by compressed
air
Its "frame" is like a gigantic
bicycle vvheel complete with
rim spokes and hub
Inside the "saucer" when
it's inflated are places for
freight and maybe 100 pass-enge- rs
What's behind this weirdo
flying structure?
© Its wind-resistan- ce is
equal on ali sides overcoming a
very bad defect of airships it
can maneuver easily
© No need for any "landing
station'" (as for mooring an
airship) because the cylindrical
"ramp" easily locks the ship to
the ground when it's extended
© Airships must be cons-tantl- y
kept pointing down-win- d
but the MAI craft is perfectly
stable in any position
© The huge circular shape
of the ship creates a strong air-li-ft
of its own (much like the lift
of an airplane's wings) when the
four engines drive it fonvard
® Lifting force stability
control ali make this ideal for
carrying big loads at moderate
flying speeds
Early in the design Studies
experts raised the grim problem
of icing Often fatal to dirigibles
No big problem here Turbines
will heat the air used to inflate
the "saucer" so ice will never
form And hot air will markedly
increase buoyancy or lifting
power

Yes this MAI ship does use
some helium gas for its bu-oyancy
(lift) effect But only
enough to "balance" the vveight
oT the framevvork etc Air
vhich costs nothing and is
heated to 250 degrees by the
turbo engines "for free" pro-vid- es
the main freight-liftin- g
force
Actually the "air" provided
by the turbine engines is really
hot exhaust gases But they're
confined inside the tough plastic
housing vvhere they perform
their other function: ice pre-vention
This brings your attention to
a really wonderful design fea-ture
of this ship As with old-fashion- ed
balloons ali you do
to make the loaded MAI rise
up for flying is to let the turbo-jet- s
fill it with very hot gases
And ali you do to make the
ship come down for a landing is
to open big valves that allow
cold outside air to replace those
hot gases
Both take-of- f and landing is
therefore free since the turbo
engines are running anyway (to
propel the ship)
LUBRICATING
OIL FROM
RAPESEED
Finland's Raision Tehtaat
has developed a range of
lubrication oils from rapeseed
oil Most of the products are
intended for industrial use for
specific applications but there
is also two-stro- ke motor oil and
motor-sa-w cutting chain oil
Raision Tehtaat began six
years ago studying how ra-peseed
oil could be used as a
lubricant because the excellent
lubrication qualities of vege-tabl- e
oils were known Finland
has a surplus production of
rapeseed oil and much of the oil
is exported in non-refin- ed
crude form
The threshold question of
the development work turned
out to be the cold-resistan- ce and
oxidation of the vegetable oil
These problems have now been
solved
Lubricating oils are manu-facture- d
from completely pure
or refined oils Their price is set
between that of mineral and
syntheticoils Considering their
quality the price is competitive
At this stage Raision Teh-taat
is not intending to export
the new oils but is eager to sell
the know-ho- w The products
have been patented in Finland
and patent applications are
pending in ten countries

Now what fuel will those
turbo-engin- es burn?
Liquified (compressed) na-tur- al
gas Very cheap clean
abundant ali over USSR
MAI engineers figure that
four gas-fuel- ed engines of stan-dard
Soviet design (TU-11- 4)
will drive a fully loaded "sau-cer"
5000 km (3000 miles) at a
speed of 200 km per hour At
remarkably low cost: a load
1500 tons will becarriedatjust
1 0 percent of the cost of truck-in- g
and only 20 percent of flying
it by freight aircraft
When you think of the
tremendous development and
construction work they have
ahead of them in distant areas
you realize what immense
savings are possible
And then the roominess of
the "saucer" makes it ideal to
handle any kind of heavy cum-berso- me
machinery gas pipe
Iines and pumping stations
even sections of nuclear power
plants
To say nothing of the comp-lete
towns (of pre-fa- b buildings)
which must be built ali along the
new BAM Siberian Railway
that reaches thousands of miles
through wilderness
But when will the MAI
flying saucer fly? Reporters
have been invited to apply for
der'onstration flights within
year
Actually plans are so far
advanced that the designers are
conveyor and circulation lubri-cating
oils machine oil for the
foodstuffs industry and chain
oil for motor-saw- s are ali ready
for marketing now and two-stro- ke
motor oil will come out
later this year
The advantages of the lub-ricating
oils made from rape-seed
include excellent lubri-cation
high viscosity index
good adhesion and low risk of
seizure When used in forestry
work on saw conveyors and
outboard motors the fact that
vegetable oils cause no harm to
the environment or the user is
an important asset
The practical tests have
been carried out under the most
stringent conditions The hyd-raulics
oils for example are is
use in mines in heavy ore
transporters The chain oils and
two-stro- ke motor oils have been
extensively tested by the armed
forces and the State Institute for
Forestry Research

Second coming
at Rome trial
Seldom has the law
looked so stupid
Italian authorities finally
paraded out their star (and only)
witness May 27 to "prove the
Bulgarian connection" in the
1981 assassination attempt on
the Pope The result was tragi-coine- dy
pure farce
You would think having
worked on Mehmet Agca"s
head for almost four years to get
his frame-u- p story straight Ita-lian
police and the CIA could
come up with something better
than what an incredulous world
heard
"I an Jesus Christ I am
omnipotent I am here to an-noun- ce
the end of the world"
Agca told his judges with the
world press looking on With
that insane outburst Agca just
about announced the end of
Italy's "trial of the century"
and with it the careers of the
prosecuting team
One year after his convic-tio- n
Agca a neo-fasci- st Turk-is- h
extremist concocted (with
help) a story that Bulgaria was
involved in his botched bid to
kili the Pope A Bulgarian Citi-zen
Sergei Antonov was pick-e- d
up and has been held since
The deal was that Agca
would provide evidence against
Antonov which would "prove"

that Bulgaria acting for the
Soviet Union was involved
with Agca and others in the
crime
The Vatican vvill also be
confused by Agca's claim to be
Jesus If false Agca is shown
for the demented person he is —
hardly a credible star witness to
implicate Bulgaria
If true it vvill mean Italy has
Jesus Christ in jail serving a life
term — a problem too complex
even for the Vatican and the
Pope to contemplate The
headline in UOsservatore Ro-mano
would then read: "Jesus
Christ Attempts to Kili John
Paul II" quite a departure from
its usual dust-dr- y fare
