FLIGHT International, II January 1973 Smiths Industries. Eyes that never close. Smiths Industries flight control systems have earned a reputation for high performance, reliability and integrity in aircraft throughout the world. We designed and produced our first autopilot in 1931 and from that we developed the tremendously successful SEP.2. More than 1,500 of these autopilots have been produced and fitted to a wide variety of aircraft, from ,, the Viscount to the HS125. Smiths Industries Series 5 Autopilot fitted to all BEA Tridents was the first in the world to land passengers on scheduled services automatically (It is now cleared by CAA to operate in Cat 3A weather conditions). But it's not only our autopilot and flight control system eyes that never close. All our eyes are on the lookout all the time. Research, new developments, testing and fresh knowledge - we're wide awake to them all. We're restless - so that you can rest assured.
