Author maintains that kernel of present knowledge of aerodynamic theory is contained in lectures delivered in 1912 and 1914, by Mallock and Lanchester, respectively; in past 16 years safety has been attained; what mainly delays comfort is noise; aerodynamic efficiency is slightly improved in spite of increased speeds; range has been multiplied by 13, rate of climb by 3, altitude by nearly 3, speed by nearly 4; structural design has not fallen behind.
