Rowland Bornstan
I :
The war has made great and ur- j
gent demands upon aeronautical j
j science and industry for the devel- i
opment of flawless aircraft and
I their components. Under the emer- :
gency, the aeronautical world has
| complied, and the astounding de
1 velopments in warplanes, only ,par
1 tiallv known today, will not be i
' entirely (for reasons of security) j
disclosed until after victory has
been won.
Not all aeronautical development !
during the war has been limited to I
destruction and death-dealing de
vices. A great many of the devel
opments have been for safety and |
accuracy in flight and will be ap- i
1 plieable to peacetime aviation.
Radar, in contrast with it* de
struction-dealing wartime role, will :
serve peacetime aviation as a de
tection device for obstructions en- »
| countered in flight during poor fly- !
ing conditions.
The automatic pilot, which has j
as one of its wartime jobs the re
: eponsibility of keeping the aero
| plane on an even keel during bomb*
i ing operations, will be used to af- \
ford a respite from routine piloting j
[ to peacetime aviators during mo*
i notorious flights.
i These and other electronic prod*
i ucts, whether wholly or' partially |
1 used in peacetime aviation, will j
I tend to repay in a small way the j
j unestimable destruction they help* ,
j ed cause during the war.
