Aims of safety in flight and of increase in performance discussed: how research organization of British aeronautics is seeking to eliminate risks: failure of aerodynamic structure: problem of maneuver stresses in military airplanes and results tests; repeated reversed stresses from flutter: spinning unsolved; failure of airplane engine; failure of human element: efforts to avoid risks of stalling: airplane performance problems. Lecture delivered before Cambridge University Aeronautical Soc.
