Re: Atom Jet history?
I have a tidbit.
It came from Denmark. The word, Odense, is found on 2nd page of the plan.
The city of Odense (Danish pronunciation: [ˈoð̞ˀn̩sə] ( listen)) is the third largest city in Denmark. The name, Odense, comes from the Norse god, Odin.
Odin (pronounced /ˈoʊdɨn/ from Old Norse Óðinn), is considered the chief god in Norse paganism and the ruler of Asgard. His name is related to ōðr, meaning "fury, excitation", besides "mind", or "poetry".
"Odin, the Wanderer" (1886) by Georg von Rosen.
Odin is the name of the ramjet engine for the British Sea Dart missile.
Sea Dart is a two-stage, 4.4 m long missile weighing 550 kg. It is launched using a drop-off Chow solid-fueled booster that accelerates it to the supersonic speed necessary for the operation of the cruise motor, a Rolls-Royce (Bristol Aerojet) kerosene-fueled Odin ramjet.
S'cuse for rambling a bit (perhaps a lot), but now's the time for a reader from Denmark to 'chime in'.
