Whatever Happened To...F. E. Alzofon? (part 1 of an ongoing series)

The name of this engineer from Boeing should be well known in the antigravity community, but Alzofon's paper indicating how such effects might be achieved through contemporary technology ("Anti-gravity with present technology - Implementation and theoretical foundation", ALZOFON, F. E. (Boeing Aerospace Co., Seattle, WA) AIAA-1981-1608 SAE, and ASME, Joint Propulsion Conference, 17th, Colorado Springs, CO, July 27-29, 1981) seems to have disappeared without much comment into the mists of time. The first page may be found here - but I've yet to see any evidence that anyone has ever tried to test it.

Going Up....?

Welcome to the European Antigravity outpost, named in homage of the excellent American Antigravity site run by Tim Ventura. I do not intend to compete with it but rather to complement it by providing a perspective from Old Europe.

In time, I hope to publicise the efforts of the lesser-known contributors to the field of breakthrough propulsion as well as keeping tabs on the better-known efforts and progress (if any). I also hope to (as far as possible) disperse the fog of mis- and dis-information surrounding activities in this field.
