This paper contains a report on the principal aeronautical research work carried out by the Aeronautical Committee of the Royal Swedish Institute for Scientific Industrial Research.

The Royal Swedish Institute for Scientific Industrial Research in 1925 appointed an Aeronautical Committee with the object of promoting–scientific technical research work and general development work in the field of aeronautics. In the first place work has been concentrated on such problems in aeronautics which are of particular importance with regard to special Swedish conditions.

The Aeronautical Committee has been concerned in establishing an aeronautical chair, combined with an aeronautical laboratory, at the Royal Technical University in Stockholm. The aeronautical professorship is now established by Parliament, and a professor will shortly be appointed. The establishment of the aeronautical laboratory has been postponed for the present, but there is hardly any doubt that the laboratory will be in being within the next few years.
