Current Developments in All Weather Landing: A Review of the Problems to be Solved and the Programmes being Pursued in Europe and the United States

Abstract

The aircraft industry is at present at a stage where a number of striking new advances are approaching practical reality. The super‐sonic transport, vertical take‐off and landing, and variable geometry arc the three developments which spring most readily to mind. Slightly less spectacular, but perhaps equally important, is the intensive development work currently in progress which is devoted to making aircraft—particularly civil aircraft—capable of safe operation in all weather conditions.
