Extract

In being honoured by the request to deliver a lecture on “ The Problems of Blind Landing,” I am set to some extent a task different from that normally presented to the Society's lecturers. In general the results of successful research are presented to you, whereas I am merely asked to outline the problems — with the implication that constructive suggestions for their solution may result. Personally, I feel that this is a most appropriate type of lecture, particularly in regard to a problem which embraces specialist fields in radio and radar, in aerodynamics and aircraft instruments, to an extent that few can claim to be expert in all.

The problem of blind landing can best be discussed after reviewing existing methods of blind approach and proposals now current for solving the landing problem.
