Some Engineering Problems in the Royal Air Force.

Abstract

In this presentation, Air Marshal Durkin provides a valuable reminder to the research and development community of the importance of a variety of qualities required in air vehicles for satisfactory performance in service. Although reliability and ease in maintenance are tacitly accepted as requirements they have tended to gey less attention from the research and development community than the more alluring goal of ever higher performance. Air Marshal Durkin's wholesome reminder should provide a needed stimulus toward achieviement of an appropriate balance of research and development goals.
