The uses to which a lift-coefficient indicator could be put are presented, and it is suggested that a good case could be made for displacing the airspeed-indicator on the pilot's panel at least. The chief advantages accompanying the use of the lift-coefficient indicator lie in its contributions to safety and in rationalizing flight conditions at the various flying weights of each aircraft. A type of indicator is considered in detail which utilizes the relationship between aerofoil surface-pressures and various parameters notably angle of attack and Mach No. It is shown that although complex relationships may exist, it is possible to evolve a simple solution. Reliability in all atmosphere conditions is attained by design-detail, and accuracy is expected to approach 1 per cent.
