The Developments and Reliability of the Modern Multi-Engine Air Liner*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 July 2016
Extract
Four essential features are generally required of any form of transportation : Speed, safety, comfort and economy. The airplane must compete with other forms of transportation and with other airplanes. The greater speed of aircraft travel justifies a certain increase in cost. The newer transport airplanes are comparable with, if not superior to, other means of transportation. Safety is of special importance, and improvement in this direction demands the airplane designer's best efforts.
