Extract

British aircraft engineering has reached a stage in its development when one is safe in saying that:—

  • (a) The aerodynamics of flight is appreciated and understood to a satisfactory extent;

  • (b) The methods of determining the loads likely to be present in the primary structural members are reliable;

  • (c) The change over from wood to metal construction is, for all practical purposes, a reality; and

  • (d) Suitable ferrous and non-ferrous materials of construction available for use by aircraft constructors have been standardised and proved to be reliable and consistent in quality.
