Abstract
INTEREST in Great Britain in rotating wing developments has been particularly marked in recent month not only as a result of the establishment of a new helicopter speed record by a British machine, but also because for the first time there are several British helicopters being designed, built and flown. It was, therefore, in a mood of optimism that a large audience, including several well-known French exponents, gathered at the Institution of Civil Engineers on November 20 to hear a series of lectures on helicopter problems with particular emphasis on civil use, given by some of the leading British technical workers and designers in this field. The meeting was a joint one of the Royal Aeronautical Society and the Helicopter Association of Great Britain, all the papers being provided by members of the latter body.
