Ladies and Gentlemen
The subject of the opening paper for our 1948/49 Lecture Session is, I am sure you will agree, of prime importance to all of us in the helicopter industry To my mind there is no point in spending time, money and energy designing and constructing helicopters unless they can be operated economically, although for any specialized application economy may not be so important
MR WIGDORTCHIK has put a great deal of work in the preparation of this paper, and although he will only have time to read a summary this afternoon, examination of the full paper, which will be published in the Association’s Journal, will be well worth while
MR WIGDORTCHIK is an A F R Ae S, and was a Wakefield Scholar to the College of Aeronautical Engineering in London He was commissioned in the Technical Branch of the R A F in 1940, and from 1943 was engaged in Research and Development in connection with aircraft, and subsequently helicopters, holding an appointment in the Ministry of Supply in this respect
