  • Abstract
    IN ANALYZING the probable future trend in the development of aviation, it appears desirable to limit the discussion to the study of three major factors, the combined effect of which to a large extent will determine the most interesting future developments. The characteristics under discussion will be speed, altitude of flight, and possible size of aircraft.
