Extract

Although The Aeronautical Journal goes back a long way its main purpose is to look forward by publishing the latest research, design and development ideas for a knowledgeable and critical audience. Launched in January 1897, well before the Wright brothers’ record-making flight, the Journal has now reached Volume 107, number 1072. In this special issue to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers’ extraordinary achievement, it was decided to ask an international group of experts to look ahead to the next 100 years (or at least as far as they thought they could see). Hence in November 2001 the then RAeS President, Professor Ian Poll, wrote to a number of eminent people in the world of aerospace, inviting them to contribute. The response was enthusiastic and the fruits of their labours are on the following pages.
