MEDICAL SCIENCE
AND AVIATION


Aeronatuics. a familiar subject
since the beginning of the twentieth
century, is usually considered solely
with reference to the ingenious mod
ern devices and mechanisms which
have made possible the aeroplane and
the airship. One rarely stops to con
slider the peculiar demands made on
the human body in the field of aerial
navigation and the physiologic re-
q~uisites for successful conquest Of the
air by man. In b~allooning the limita-
tions set by altitude and its attending
involument of respiration have long
been appreciated. In the modern pur-
suit of aviation, however, this aspect
10 only one of many that involve the
performance of the human machine in
the air. We cannot expect a to fly
by his w efforts. The eminent Ber-
lin Psychologist, Professor Zuntz. has
pointed out that the clew to the sue
cessful pursuit of aviation is to be
sought in the domain of psychology.
Whether il he in flying in a balloon
or in aerial propulsion with the aid of
a motor, certain organs of the body
are of pre-eminent Importance. and
their normal performance is indispen-
sible for success. One need only re
call some of the features associated
with the performance of the organs Of
sense to realize how largely they de-
termine the poise of the flyer and his
ability to attain equilibrium and to
adjust his balance promptly. The ac-
ton of man is guided by the senses.
They bring directly to the conscious
ness certain impressions which control
familiar movements, such as walking.
