Rotary Wing Papers at the I.A.S. Annual Meeting: Some Comments on the Proceedings on Rotorcraft at the Twenty‐sixth Annual Meeting Available to Purchase

THE twenty‐sixth annual meeting of the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences was held, as usual, in the Sheraton‐Astor Hotel, New York. The papers delivered during the week covered the widest range of subjects to date, including gravity, and anti‐gravity, hypersonic aerodynamics, space propulsion and earth satellites, to name only an exotic few. It is obvious that any one observer can give a coherent summary of (or even attend) only a limited number of lectures, and this report is concerned only with the rotary wing sessions.
