1. The following comments are offered regarding conclusion number 4 of the attached report:

a. It does not appear logical to bring in a conclusion regarding space ships when it was not discussed in the body of the report. This is not a conclusion that is based on this report so it does not belong in "Conclusions".

b. The expression, "It is now aerodynamically feasible for subject configuration to fly" implies that it was not feasible until the report was written. This does not make sense.

2. It is suggested that a conclusion to replace that discussed above merely state that an aircraft of the configuration described could support itself in flight by aerodynamic forces.
