Engines at the Paris Aero Show: Reflections on the State of Continental Engine Development and Practice, as exemplified by the Exhibits

Abstract

THE interest in anticipation offered by an International Aeronautical Exhibition is akin to that inspired by friendly participation in the reunion of a large and normally‐scattered family for some special celebration. One will look to see whether the elder stalwarts continue in full vigour; has that adolescent promise developed into maturity, or was it merely an evanescent brilliance; is new blood coming in, to bo assimilated in the traditions of the breed; or is the general stock slipping back, pot‐bound and sterile of fresh enterprise and foresight? In one's judgment one must be careful, however, to remember that it is a festal occasion, not the routine of life.
