Extract

The Royal Aeronautical Society may well be considered as one of the more important founders of the science and practice of aeronautics, bearing in mind at the same time the work of Sir George Cayley. Other early claimants in the history of aeronautics are the Royal Aero Club on the sporting side and the Royal Aircraft Establishment, the latter known formerly as the Balloon Factory. These date back many years but so also does the Aeronautical Research Council (ARC), originally called the Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (ACA), which although not so old as the other bodies mentioned above, has had an unbroken history of some fifty-seven years.
