Extract

It is indeed a very great honour for so new a member to be accorded the privilege of reading a paper before the Royal Aeronautical Society, and I would like to express my sincere thanks to the President and the Council of the Society for the invitation extended to me.

We have heard from designers and experts in all branches of aeronautics what problems confront them and how they propose to solve them. I am going to discuss, from the point of view of a pilot, some of the problems that seem to me to arise from high performance and increased wing loadings, and to indicate what appear to me to be possible solutions. I propose to consider these problems under five headings :—

  1. (1) Take-off.

  2. (2) Irreversible Aileron Control.

  3. (3) The Approach.

  4. (4) Flattening Out

  5. (5) Touching Down.
