Handley Page and the Future

Abstract

AT a time when the name Handley Page is continually in the news, we are privileged to announce that our next issue will contain Part 1 of an article entitled ‘Boundary Layer Control for Low Drag’, written by that acknowledged international authority on the subject, Dr G. V. Lachmann. As Director of Research with the Handley Page Company, Dr Lachmann has been responsible for maintaining this country's stake in the development and application of laminar flow techniques, and it is a sad commentary on Ministry of Aviation policy that while sponsored work is being carried out in the United States with a view to flight testing full‐scale laminarised aircraft, the Handley Page Company has been obliged to continue its work without the substantial financial backing which only a Government contract could provide.
