Closing Words for Public Aviation Law

In 1944, nobody could foresee the unparalleled future of air navigation defying description, although back then neither audacious thoughts nor revolutionary ideas had been scarce, which had become reality before the majority of the readers of this book were born. In the 1960s, the supersonic Concorde civilian airplanes (1969) traversed the aerial ocean at twice the speed of sound, while the Blackbird SR-71 military spy planes (1964) flying at a speed of 3500 km/h outspeeded the missiles targeting them, humankind entered outer space (1961) and the ‘envoys of mankind’, the astronauts took a walk on the surface of the Moon (1969). Doubtless, if the vision of the future is put down in writing, one chapter therein indisputably concerns Aviation. In view of the fact that the future can be predicted via retrospection into the past, we can by this time be aware that we are heading for amazing development.
