The Timing of Airplane Speeds

Since official records of mechanical flight first began to be kept, it has been the general practice to ëstablish records for maximum speed on the basis of short runs in both directions over a straight-away course. From 1909 down to the present time, the procedure sanctioned by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale has been to use a one-kilometer course, flying twice in each direction over this course and taking the mean of the four times.

Editorials

THE most important problem for 1923, from the aeronautical viewpoint, concerns the maintenance of an aircraft industry in the United States. Judging from the 1922 record, unless a definite policy is adopted, there will be a situation created that will be a serious menace to the air defense of the nation.
