I consider it a great honour, and most appropriate that the first function to be performed by a Chairman of the Flight Simulation Group, the youngest group of the Royal Aeronautical Society, is to present this paper to the Section which represents the interests of the younger members of the Society. I bring the best wishes of the Group to the Graduates and Students Section and I hope that this paper will stimulate an interest in the subject of flight simulation. The established members of the simulator fraternity who are present this evening will at least forgive me, and some, I hope, may agree with me, when I suggest that simulation is one of those areas of aeronautical engineering where a young and fresh approach to the problems encountered is likely to pay dividends.
