R.J. Mitchell himself produced an article which was published in Aeronautical Engineering on 25 December 1929 in which he made it clear that, in his view, information and experience gained in the development of racing aircraft had a profound influence on the design of both civil and military aircraft.

He wrote:

During the last 10 years there has been an almost constant increase in speed in our racing types. To maintain this steady increase very definite progress has been essential year by year. It has been necessary to increase the aerodynamic efficiency and power-to-weight ratios of our machines; to reduce the consumption and frontal area of our engines; to devise new methods of construction; and to develop the use of new materials. The results obtained in the form of speed have been a direct and absolute indication of our progress in aeronautical development.
