Extract

This Convention poses a challenge to the lecturers. It asks us to gaze into a crystal ball and to forecast the future on the basis of the research of today. My contribution is to review the aerodynamics scene. I am the first specialist lecturer; this is perhaps a recognition that many of the significant advances of the past have been aerodynamically inspired. It is natural to start by thinking back 20 years and asking whether we would then have predicted what has come true today. In aerodynamics, there is obviously a clear answer to this question.
