Extract

The Chairman said the subject was of paramount importance to all helicopter designers, manufacturers and operators The Association had not previously had a lecture which dealt specifically with the problem and the importance of the subject meant that such a lecture was long overdue They knew that, in spite of the claims made from time to time by sundry manufacturers, helicopters did vibrate, some to a very great extent Indeed, one eminent fixed wing designer thought that by virtue of this vibration helicopters were rather more grandiose fatigue testing machines than the conventional test equipment for the purpose
