Abstract
THE report to Parliament of the Advisory Committee for Aeronautics for 1916–17 has just been issued, and is a further vindication of the foresight shown when this committee was inaugurated in 1909 under the presidency of Lord Rayleigh. Since that time funds have been continuously placed at the disposal of the Royal Society for the development of the experimental investigations at the National Physical Laboratory, the aeronautical work of which in all its branches is controlled by the Advisory Committee for Aeronautics.
