NO CLOTHING PACKED Harvest Eagle lacks clothing, food, ammunition and fuel stores. Those come from other Air Force depots after the portable base has been set up.

Mueller's 31 men keep Camp Darby's three Harvest Eagle bases clean and ready to roll onto airplanes at eight hours notice. The project came to this area in mid-central Italy in March 1970 from its former home at Wheelus Air Base, Libya, which was taken over by the Libyans. From Wheelus Harvest Eagle bases were flown to sites Turkey, Greece and Italy for use in readiness drills. Other portable bases are kept in Zaragoza, Spain, in afJ least one depot in the United States and one depot in the Pacific. By PATRICK O'KEEFE PISA, Italy (AP) It may sound difficult, but the U.S.

Air Force can move an air base around in airplanes. If necessary it can even fly three air bases around and, of course, put them down where needed simply by sending enough cargo planes to the Pisa airport to pick the bases up. A riddle? Not if you listen to Capt. Richard Mueller who commands the Air Force's "Harvest Eagle" project in a complex of warehouses attached to the U.S. Army's Camp Darby near Pisa.

"They have sometimes referred to Harvest Eagle as an instant Air Force base," says the 27-year-old officer from Chickasha, Okla.

The camp will last two weeks and participants may come either half days or full days program director Maxine Arnold said.

Activities featured will be arts and crafts, trampoline, tumbling, archery, swimming instruction and supervised swimming, singing, organized games, educational tours and special field trips, with picnics and horseback riding. Any boy or girl 6-13 may register for this program. The grand finale of day camp will be an over night bunk-in with a weiner roast and program for parents. Children will display crafts made in day camp and exhibit skills. Kiddies Fun Club will begin its last summer session July 26 for boys and girls 4 through 6 years of age.

Fun Club lasts four weeks with participants attending three mornings a week. Activities include arts and crafts, singing, story time, swimming instruction, activities to develop physical coordination and organized games designed to help the child there is an adequate air strip and access to water. It costs $1.7 million. The ready-to-go base contains tents; cots; blankets; heaters; generators; complete cooking, cleaning and eating facilities; tools to repair aircraft and vehicles, washing and drying machines and office supplies. It packs plumbing equipment, electrical kits, garden hoses, drafting equipment, portable toilets, medical supplies, enough material to publish a mimeographed newspaper, a darkroom and a variety of cameras.

Also included are 50,000 board feet of lumber so, as Mueller puts it, "the civil engineers can build whatever they need." Harvest Eagle, naturally, also gives them the hammers, nails, screws, saws and other carpentry tools. The flyable base comes with full chaplain's equipment: portable altar, vestments, bibles, hymnals and even cartridges of tape recorded organ music and a tape-recorder.

The spinning method, to shape cryogenic containers, is similar to that used in the making of propeller spinners.

The containers are formed at Wichita facility of Beech Aircraft. $933 Machine washable, tumble dry fabric. Shedswrinkles. FIRST QUALITY ON FULL BOLTS! Playwenr Duck PRINTS It PLAINS had made eight flights before it was returned to the shops for further modification. Engineers now are removing protrusions such as bolt heads and rivets, and installing a network of about 250 pressure sensors to the top of the wing.

The sensors will be used for locating and measuring any shock' wave created in the air flow since the effectiveness of the new design depends on moving the shock wave to near 100 Space travel of the future may rely upon a huge prototype cryogenic propellant storage tank which Beech Aircraft is developing for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The 7-foot, 7-inch in diameter aluminum pressure vessel is capable of storing liquid oxygen, hydrogen, helium or gases required for shuttle vehicles and space stations in future space exploration. First stage in development of the 225-cubic foot (1.764-gal-lon) capacity tank was completed a few months ago in a joint program of design by the Beech Boulder Division and fabrication by Beech in Wichita, Kan. To form the two 91-inch in diameter hemispheres, Beech Wichita engineers developed a spinning process utilizing a 1 load capacity 'power lathe which combined the necessary size and accura- plus economy over any other method. Special tooling, handling and heat-treating equipment was designed to fabricate the hemispheres, including an1 pound mandrel designed with a true contour of .010 inch.

The hemispheres were formed from circular starting blanks of aluminum plate inch thick, nearly 12 feet in diameter and weighing more than 1,200 pounds, by pressing a hydraulically controlled roller against the blanks under pressure. The system is similar, but on a smaller basis, to that used in spinning propeller spinners. CLOSE TOLERANCE After forming, the hemiw spheres were shipped to the Boulder Division where radiographic X-ray revealed that when mated for welding the two halves matched to within .007 inch. The complete tank was subjected to exacting leak-proof tests and to test its qualities in extreme cold temperatures which it would encounter in' space, the tank was subjected to cold shock by filling with liquid nitrogen at 320 degrees below zero. Final step in the first stage work was to bring the tank to the superclean state required to be compatible with cryogenic gases.

Stage two development at the Boulder Division required fabrication of a girth ring and supporting bands and installation of insulation material. The developmental work for the tank by Beech for NASA follows 15 years of research and prodaction at Boulder and Wichita in the field of cryogenics, the science of the super cold. Beech has designed and produced cryogenic loading and transfer systems for the Gemini space program, the cryogenic gas storage system for the Apollo spacecraft and liquid helium dewar and helium conditioning units for the Lunar module (LM) program. NASA TESTS NEW WING The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is flight testing what it refers to as a "supercritical wing," a new airfoil shape that should permit future aircraft to travel further on less fuel. Flight tests are being carried out with a modified Navy F-8 fighter at the Flight Research Center, Edwards, Calif.

First flown March 9 of this year, the supercritical wing Clever patterns just right for summer uoar Marhma uuach. TCB the trailing edge for an increase in total wing efficiency. Shaped almost the opposite from conventional wings, the supercritical wing has a relatively flat top and a rounded bottom to delay the rise in aerodynamic drag until the aircraft is flying at a higher speed. Wind tunnel tests indicate the new design will permit higher speeds with no increase in fuel consumption.
