Extract

The President of the Royal Aeronautical Society (Sir Arnold Hall) invited Professor J A J Bennett (Chairman, Lecture Committee, of the Helicopter Association of Great Britain) to introduce the Lecturer

Professor J A J Bennett said that this was a very important occasion, both for the Royal Aeronautical Society and for the Helicopter Association of Great Britain Tonight, they were to hear about the development of an aircraft which was certainly not an aeroplane, and it was certainly not a helicopter according to present-day definitions To accept the F A I nomenclature, it was in an intermediate class, the so-called “Convertiplane” category As, however, there was neither a Convertiplane Association of Great Britain nor yet a Convertiplane Section of the Royal Aeronautical Society, it was appropriate that the two societies should get together and discuss the project
