  • Since this paper is prepared at the request of the Council of the Royal Aeronautical Society–a body which represents in the main the scientific aspect of aviation–I have endeavoured in preparing it to remember that I must infuse into its composition something of worth to the technician as well as to the pilot. If I manage to convey to the former some of the problems which confront the latter and which are not quite the same as those with which he is himself faced, I may have rendered some small service in response to the honour which the Council of the Society has done me in asking me to undertake this duty.

  • Air Navigation

  • Norman Macmillan
  • Journal:
    The Aeronautical Journal / Volume 37 / Issue 268 / April 1933
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    28 July 2016, pp. 307-345

  • The air flows past unseen as one flies. As it flows the invisible meridians and parallels pass with it, sharp but arbitrary demarcations imposed mathematically by man upon a sphere which he learned to measure long after he began to move intelligently about its surface; geographically non-existent hair lines which stubble the ends of certain radii projecting to the surface from the centre of our globe. But these same lines are cartographically displayed upon our maps, where we designate them graticules. And so the air navigator, resolving his position in the air above the surface of the earth as a mathematically unique point, knows both cartographically and geographically exactly where he is.
