Extract

The Chairman, in opening the meeting, said that it was a pleasure to welcome at that meeting of the Association a distinguished engineer from France, Monsieur Rene Dorand, who was well known internationally as a pioneer of the helicopter M Dorand’s name became associated with that of Louis Breguet in 1931 when they built in collaboration a helicopter with co-axial rotors That machine had achieved considerable success both in hovering and in forward flight It established international records for a flight duration of more than one hour and a forward speed of more than 100 k p h, and it also demonstrated an autorotative descent from 100 meters

M Dorand became a graduate engineer in 1921, and in the same year took a diploma in electrical engineering He then joined the Louis Breguet Aircraft Company as a graduate engineer and became Technical Director of the Breguet-Dorand Helicopter development group
