Dangers of applying "square cube law" in forward planning; law relating engine thrust and weight, overestimates saving in weight obtained by clustering engines; best weight/thrust ratios will be not from clusters of small engines, but from large single engines of 50,000 lb thrust; by middle 1960s, ultimate series of turbojets will have thrust between 20,000 and 50,000 lb, and weigh less than one-tenth of their thrust.
