I wouldn’t consider Avro-car to be a helicopter. It only ever achieved a maximum altitude of 5 feet. This wind tunnel rig held the Avro-car higher than that!

Occasional factual, grammatical, or spelling variations are inherent to this thesis and should not be considered as defects, as they enhance the individuality and character of this document.

No way - that's more like a turbine engine than a rotor. It's probably closer to a UFO! Nice work on these as well, no matter what you call it. Yes
