Silent plane would cut airport noiseplane they say could cutthrough the air withpractically no soundbothering those below,thanks to its unique shapeand design features tolimit engine noise.

The design adds a newtwist to aviation’s longhistory of mixed successdeveloping flying wingsdesigned to be more fuel-and space-efficient thanconventional aircraft withlong, narrow fuse-lages.

The design, to beannounced in a newsconference at the RoyalAeronautical Society inLondon, would blendfuselage and wingstogether so that the entireairframe provides lift —an approach that to datehas been confined largelyto payload-carrying mi-litary aircraft such as long-range bombers.

The body shape of the“silent aircraft” wouldallow for a slower landingapproach and takeoff tocut airport noise — a formof environmentalpollution that makes itpolitically unpopular toexpand airports and flightschedules.

“The ‘silent aircraft’can help address thisconcern and thus aid inmeeting the increasingpassenger demand for airtransport,” said EdwardGreitzer, and professor ofaeronautics at theMassachusetts Institute ofTechnology.

TEHERAN, 6 Nov— Iran said on Sunday it wouldconsider entering talks with the United States onsecurity in Iraq if it received an official request.

Talks between Washington and Teheran areexpected to be one option for quelling violence in Iraqto be suggested in a report due out from the Iraq StudyGroup, a US bipartisan commission headed by formersecretary of state James Baker.

But the idea has previously been rejected by USPresident George W Bush. The United States accusesIran of aiding the insurgency and stoking sectarianstrife in Iraq, a charge Teheran denies.

Asked if Iran should talk directly to the UnitedStates about security in Iraq, Teheran’s ForeignMinistry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini said:“If they officially ask for that, it will be reviewed byIran.

“At the present time, some American and Iraqiofficials have raised the question of a dialogue. If wereceive such a request we are ready to examine it.”

The United States broke official ties with Iran afterthe 1979 Islamic Revolution.

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice last monthhinted that Washington might join talks with Teheranto resolve the Iran nuclear issue, but only if the IslamicRepublic first suspended uranium enrichment,something Iran has repeatedly refused to do.

Despite UN Security Council demands that it haltnuclear fuel production work, Iran announced lastmonth that it had started up a second group of 164centrifuges, which spin at supersonic speeds to enrichuranium.

The networks of centrifuges are known as cascades.Iran says Natanz will eventually house tens of thousandsof the machines but that it will only use them to enrichuranium to a level suitable for use in atomic powerreactors and not to the much higher level needed tomake atom bombs.

“They have visited the second cascade and theIsfahan uranium conversion facility,” the unnamedofficial told IRNA.

In an editorial, theTimes criticized theRepublican-led Congresson matters from tax cuts toenergy policy, and chargedit has failed to hold USPresident George W Bushaccountable for theunpopular Iraq War.

“This election isindeed about George WBush — and the congres-sional majority's insistenceon protecting him from the

consequences of hismistakes and misdeeds,”the Times editorialized.

The Bush Admini-stration has had a numberof clashes in recent yearswith the Times, particularlyfor the newspaper'sdisclosure of its warrant-less domestic spyingprogramme.

The newspaper,founded in 1851, wrote inits editorial: "On Tuesday,

when this page runs the listof people it has endorsedfor election, we will includeno Republican con-gressional candidates forthe first time in ourmemory.”

“To begin with, theRepublican majority thathas run the House ofRepresentatives — and forthe most part, the Senate —during President Bush'stenure, has done a terrible

job on the basics,” thenewspaper wrote.

“It’s tax-cutting-above-all-else has wreckedthe budget, hobbled themiddle class andendangered the long-termeconomy.

It has refused to faceglobal warming and donepathetically little about thecountry’s dependence onforeign oil,” the Timesadded.
