Aircraft Design Trends: A Paper Delivered at the Eighth Aircraft Production Conference Organized by the Institution of Production Engineers and Held at the College of Aeronautics, Cranfield, on April 5–7, 1962

Abstract

MUCH has been written about possible developments in the next decade, but any forecasting must of necessity be conjectural. As far as the next generation of military aircraft is concerned the situation is very obscure, except for the fact that it is known that fewer types will be required. Developments in the civil field are rather easier to foresee, these being based on the anticipated travelling habits of the world's population.
