"Recent experiments indicate that a gaseous envelope (such as the one shown below around a torpedo) can double the speed of underwater missiles. The vapor envelope eliminates much of the skin-friction drag of a hydrodynamic body."Issue: The Flash #128 (May 1962)
You're just full of facts, Kelson! Supercavitation, eh? That's got a much better ring to it than, say, "gaseous envelope!"
ReplyDeleteoh, my... this image seems rather... ah-hem, perhaps i shouldn't comment...

You've just taken a Flash Fact and made it more than a little bit dirty. Wow. And that's why I love you.
