  • Foundations for any general survey must be laid on established fact. In Aviation all facts are difficult to establish with exactitude because of the almost infinite number of variables concerned. In addition, post-war Civil Aviation, in 1948, has not completely emerged from the transition period from war to peace. Converted military aircraft are still in widespread use on the airlines of the World, while ground facilities suitable for commercial Aviation are still under construction everywhere. Many new technical developments are also in course of introduction.

    Hence, at present, Air Transport is nowhere near stability. Such annual accounts and statistics as are now available are for the years 1946 and 1947, during which reconversion was at its peak.

Part III

  • 5. Operating Analyses (Future Possibilities)

  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:

  • One of the outstanding questions of the hour is the form of power plant which is likely to prove most satisfactory for various classes of transport aircraft for various stage lengths.

    “Most satisfactory” can, of course, cover a multitude of desirable features. But there is one pre-eminent requirement which should always Jbe kept in view. That is that the combination of airframe and engine considered should be capable, first of covering its direct operating costs plus overheads and, having done that, of flying as fast as possible.
