"Robot" Lands Supersonic Planed: The mirror landing aid with lights.The Admiralty released the news last night that Britain has scored yet another naval aviation success. It is a visual deck-landing aid which enables aircraft to approach and land on the flight decks of aircraft carriers at high speeds with-out the need for a landing-signals officer.The landing aid is a large curved mirror on a gyre-operated mounting.Experiments carried out some time ago indicated that the high rate of approach of future aircraft would not allow sufficient time for the human reactions between the pilot and the "batsman" who signals him on.
