Popular Mechanics in November

In the main story of the November issue of Popular Mechanics, the magazine’s editors built a unique jet car. Its creators, builders and test drivers speak in detail about the automobile — how this unusual form of transportation was created, its design features and specifications.

The military department looks at the holy of holies of the domestic defense industry — the Progress aviation plant that produces Ka-52 helicopters, the legendary Alligators that will soon become the main strike force of the Russian Navy.

The Science section features a fascinating article on the theory of time travel by brilliant Austrian mathematician Kurt Gödel.
