Abstract
“I think everyone would agree that high flight speed, although it is the spectacular signature of aviation, is not a significant measure of progress. If any one of the eight purpose factors is to be regarded as the specific goal of aviation or the dominant yardstick of its progress, I think that it is to transport as many people as possible, i.e. to create a big volume of aviation, in passenger-miles.”Bo K. O. LundbergWe are living at a time of transition in civil aviation, between subsonic and supersonic flight. Subsonic flight has no connection with ground transport and supersonic flight, as now envisaged has no connection either. It is thus rather necessary to explain the title of this paper which would otherwise be irrelevant.
