National Aerospace Planning

Abstract

The Society holds the view that the greatest source of weakness in the conduct of British aerospace affairs is the lack of continuous comprehensive co-ordination of the planning of the programme. Planning is proceeding in various ways in Ministries, industry, airlines and elsewhere. These efforts are inadequately co-ordinated and are incomplete especially in relation to the long term future. What is required is the gathering together, efficiently, of all the results of the planning by the customers and the industry, the filling of gaps in this planning and the moulding of all these into a rational, comprehensive and acceptable whole.
