Early trials of the Nuclear powered submarine, USS Nautilus with Admirals Carney and Fechteler aboard
Assorted views taken when the CNO visited and sailed aboard the new atomic powered submarine, USS Nautilus during sea trials. A sailor walks along the deck of the USS Nautilus (SSN 571) docked on the Thames river at Groton, Connecticut. It moves away from the dock. Next, Admiral Robert B. Carney, Chief of Naval Operations walks on the deck with Nautilus Captain, Commander Eugene P. Wilkinson. Admiral William Fechteler, former CNO, follows behind them. Crew of the boat is lined up on deck. A sailor raises Admiral's 4-star flag next to the American flag on the Nautilus flag pole. Pier, docks, and waterfront buildings are seen in the background. Sailors pick up lines from deck of the Nautilus and remove the American flag and flagpole from the deck. Admiral Carney descends from the deck through a hatch. Next, the Nautilus is seen, moving slowly away on the calm river. View from on deck looking aft, shows trailing wake as the Nautilus moves at higher speed. Views of sailors at duty stations inside the boat: one in a compartment, monitoring equipment; a lookout in cold weather gear, with binoculars; and a sailor below speaking on an interphone, as Admiral Carney sits next to him. The Admiral standing next to the sailor, conversing with him. Admiral Fechteler standing behind the helmsman as an officer briefs him. Glimpse of Admiral Carney through a hatch. Admiral Carney climbing interior stairway to another deck where he and Admiral Fechteler join Commander Wilkinson who briefs them. A sailor shows Admiral Carney a metal plaque on the wall citing the Nautilus as the sixth ship of the fleet to carry that name, and giving information about that.

Reenactment shows early 20th century U.S. research in gas turbines that contributed to development of turbojet airplane engine
Views of Cornell University where mechanical engineer, Stanford Moss, conducted research into gas turbines as part of his doctoral thesis work in 1903. Dr. Moss later joined the staff of General Electric Company. During World War I Dr. Moss is called to Washington DC to discuss, with the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA), development of a turbo supercharger for airplane engines. View of a biplane with turbo supercharger mounted on top of radial engine. Animated diagram illustrating workings of a turbo supercharger. Using a supercharged engine, the U.S. Army Air Services established an altitude record of 36 thousand feet. (The pilot, flying without supplemental oxygen, passes out and doesn't regain consciousness until the airplane has fallen about 30 thousand feet.)
How turbo superchargers facilitate high altitude airplane flight. World War II warplanes equipped with superchargers
General Billy Mitchell wearing fur coat and western style hat. Animated illustration of U.S. Army Martin bomber operating at 15 thousand feet during the famous demonstrations of air power against battleships, in 1921. This was possible because the aircraft engines were supercharged, an outgrowth of Dr. Sanford Moss's developments at General Electric Company.World War 2 scenes of U.S. Army Air Forces aircraft that use supercharged engines: P-51s; P-47s; P-38s; B-24s; B-17s and B-29s. View of atomic bomb explosion.
General Electric producing the first American jet airplane engine. Bell Aircraft building first U.S. jet powered airplane.
General Electric Company engineers work on designs for America's first jet aircraft engine during World War 2. In the company's plant, at Lynn, Massachusetts, machinists make parts for the engine and others assemble it. Company executives conversing about the enterprise. On April 18, 1942, the first engine produced is rolled into a test cell for operational testing. Engineers pull down the door to the test cell displaying the words: "Fort Knox." Engineers at control panel of the test cell. View into the test cell. GE Project manager, Donald F. Warner, actuates toggle switch to "on" position, and the engine ignites. Flame seen in rear of the engine. Complete change of location. View of Bell Aircraft company buildings. Bell engineers working on design of an airplane designated, XP-59A (Airacomet) to be powered by the new General Electric jet engine (later designated J-31 by the military). Views of the Bell engineering and production activities at secret facilities in Buffalo, New York. Two Bell workers expressing reservations about airplanes without propellers. A main intersection street scene in Schenectady, New York. Pedestrians walking and shopping. An F.W. Woolworth store on the corner. Copy of the Schenectady Gazette Newspaper, with headline about 500 planes raiding Berlin. A man buying a copy of the paper.
