Abstract
The Chairman, in opening the meeting, said that the first part of the Paper would be presented by Mr J D Sibley, who for the past 10 years had been Chief Aerodynamicist at the Helicopter Division, Bristol Aircraft Ltd, Weston-Super-Mare Mr Sibley would discuss the aerodynamic aspects The second part, relating to the dynamical aspects, would be presented by Mr C H Jones, who had been Dynamics Engineer at the Helicopter Division, Bristol Aircraft Ltd, since 1955 Afterwards there would be a short filmThe paper discusses a number of aerodynamic aspects which have appeared during the development of the Bristol Helicopters I have deliberately avoided excessive comparisons of the advantages and disadvantages of tandem helicopters versus the single main rotor helicopters, as this subject has been covered by numerous authorsThe subject matter covers information on performance, control and stability, which has been obtained in the course of development work on Bristol Tandem Helicopters Some of this information is directly applicable to other types of helicopter
