all-weatheroperation and automatic landing is a crucial sector of aeronautical development, in which SMITHS can claim an un equalled record of pioneer work and practical progress. Already more than 8,000 fully automatic blind landings have been accom plished, without incident, by aircraft using the Autoland system evolved on the basis of the SMITHS Autopilot. The latest outcome of SMITHS initiative in fundamental research is the Para-Visual Director. This is an entirely new concept in flight director display, which can be applied to existing instrument systems. By presenting essential information to the pilot, even as he concentrates on the runway ahead, it effectively eases his task-especially in high-speed, low-visibility landings by modern jet aircraft.
