Abstract: A package assembly is disclosed in which base, trays and top cover are formed of hydrophobic materials. The base has skids and guide projections on its upper surface for positioning and restraining each of a plurality of video glass funnels in a layer of funnels on the base. A tray has a like plurality of upwardly extending funnel support components located to coincide with and rest on the upper surface of the funnels in the base layer. Each support component has a bowl-shaped configuration with an upper surface for supporting the larger open end of a funnel in a layer of funnels on top of the tray. Multiple layers of funnels are separated and supported by the trays. The top cover protects the uppermost layer of funnels and permits tying of the assembly into an integral unit through the use of encircling strapping bands, shrink wrap techniques, or the like.

Abstract: A high performance aircraft capable of subsonic, transonic and supersonic speeds employs a forward swept wing planform and at least one first-and-second-solution ejector located on the inboard section of the wing. A high degree of flow control on the inboard sections of the wing is achieved along with improved maneuverability and control of pitch, roll and yaw. Lift loss is delayed to higher angles of attack than in conventional aircraft. In one embodiment the ejectors may be advantageously positioned spanwise on the wing while the ductwork is kept to a minimum.

Abstract: A package assembly includes a pallet, an outer shell supported on the pallet, and a plurality of inner cells disposed within the outer shell. A plurality of package elements are utilized to separate and support a stack of video glass funnel parts within each inner cell. The upper pyramidal surface of a package element has step means formed therein for receiving and supporting the edge of a larger end of a glass funnel part, while a lower surface of the pyramidal element is configured to receive and mate with upper surfaces of the contoured sides of a glass funnel part. Stiffening support posts may be disposed in the corners of the inner cells. A cover has a top panel and downwardly depending side walls which extend around the upper edges of the sides of the outer shell.
