Extract

It is surprising that, in a country with long and strong traditions in aeronautical engineering and naval architecture, the interactions between these two professions have only been sporadic and largely informal. There have been some notable exceptions, of course, such as the airship story of the 1920s (and its revival of interest in very recent times); hovercraft development; and on the educational front events such as the creation of a Ship Science group within the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Southampton University in 1968. But unlike France, with its Association Technique Maritime et Aéronautique, and USA, with its regular joint meetings of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers with the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, collaboration between our two ‘Royal’ institutions has been negligible.
