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. Paper read before Instn. Civ. Engrs., May 6, 1930. (See also Engineer vol. 149, no. 3878, May 9, 1930 pp. 512-514; Mech. Eng., vol. 52, no. 7, July 1930, p. 705)
