Abstract
A EROPLANE stability is not the only subject in which progress has been retarded in the early stages of aviation. It is not so very long ago that Prof. Herbert Chatley read a paper on the calculation of the stresses in aeroplanes, and at the conclusion up jumped “Mr. I Don't Agree With You” and said he “didn't think” the results would be of any value. The consequence of this system is that a person who is really an inventive genius has to spend the whole of his time in fighting against the opposition and prejudice of people who “don't think” and he can produce original work only when he can get a post-graduate student or assistant to do the whole working of the necessary details.
