A Young Man's View of the Aerospace Profession
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 July 2016
Extract
When one talks of the difficulties of the aerospace industry in this country, it is all too easy to point a finger westwards to the United States. It then seems right to talk of long production runs and large home markets. One can then turn to our own industry and to its output since the last War, and perhaps forgive.
But should we?
In this short paper, a young author intends to examine professional education and manpower in aeronautics, because herein must be the reason for any future success or failure of the products of the industry, and the pointer to the future level of expertise in the art.
