Extract

“We are concerned, not with nature alone, but with the total relation between man and the world around him. Its object is not just man's welfare, but the dignity of man's spirit.”

Lyndon B. Johnson

I am most conscious of the honour of being invited to give the Sixth Handley Page Memorial Lecture, particularly in view of the renown of the previous speakers. Since these lectures are jointly sponsored by the Royal Aeronautical Society and the Cranfield Society, I am especially delighted at being the first ex-student of Cranfield who has been invited to present this paper.
