Abstract
IN the year 1945 aircraft structural design had reached an advanced stage in this country, as judged by all previous standards. The needs of war and the vast expenditure on aircraft design and manufacture had unquestionably forced the pace of progress. On the other hand, war‐time conditions must inevitably have tended to produce an unbalanced growth. Expenditure of money and effort was accompanied by a no less drastic expenditure of technical capital, and really long‐term thinking was unavoidably put aside.
