Today, research projects are underway at more than 185 laboratories in the six North American divisions They encompass the full scope of mod ern science. Is air stiffer than steel? Not all research has the headline appeal of a space ship or nuclear power. For example, research engineers at the Autonetics Division, which designs and manufactures space age navigation systems, found new and different ways of building rotating bearings... and found that air is stiffer than steel for some purposes. Improved gyroscopes and magnetic recordings wc-ie important results of this research. A cigarette's place in research Even the ordinary cigarette has a role in scientific research. Scientists at the Aero-Space Laboratories, an organization within North American’s Missile Division, use a burning cig arette in a still room to illustrate the difference between laminar flow and turbulence in the boundary layer, the very thin air space that lies along the outer skin of an aircraft or missile. This research is part of a program to find ways to protect missiles, satellites and space ships from burning when they re-enter the earth’s atmosphere. Toward the conquest of Space The Roeketdyne Division has designed and built the bulk of today’s operating hardware in the high-thrust rocket field. Explorer I, America’s first satellite, was boosted into orbit by a Roeketdyne engine... and three-fourths of the power for Able IV-Atlas-man’s first attempt to reach toward another planet-conies from liquid-propellant engines designed and built by Roeketdyne.

Research engineers in this division investigate manu facturing techniques, conduct studies in aerodynamics, mate rials and processes, and thermodynamics. They also work with physiologists, biotechnologists, biophysicists, and psy chologists to solve design problems concerning human capa bilities and limitations that arise from modern weapons and research systems. Building better Navy aircraft Analysis of aircraft carrier operation is a major research project at the Columbus Division. This division designed and built the Navy’s T2J Buckeye jet trainer and the Navy's supersonic, all-weather A3J Vigilante. Research activities are diverse here-from how to illuminate an aircraft cockpit to developing unmanned vehicles and systems to perform within the earth’s atmosphere. Developing the peaceful atom The work at the Atomics International Division of North American is part of a large national research effort aimed at the peaceful atom. Success in the development of economical power from the atom depends on thorough knowledge m eveiy phase of atomic power systems and their materials of construction. Atomics International research reactors are in service in Japan, Denmark, West Germany, West Berlin, and Italy.
