Extract

The CHAIRMAN, in introducing the Author, said that Dr Kuchemann had been a member of the scientific staff at the R A E, Farnborough, since 1946, and was now head of the Supersonics Division of the Aerodynamics Department From 1930 to 1936 he studied at the Universities of Munich and Gottingen, where he obtained the degree of Dr rer nat, and from 1936 to 1946 he had worked in the Aerodynamics Research Establishment at Gottingen under Professor Betz He was, perhaps, best known on both sides of the Atlantic for his classic textbook with J Weber “Aerodynamics of Propulsion”

The integration of the aerodynamics of a propulsive system with the aerodynamics of a lifting system as achieved in the helicopter was of fundamental significance in aeronautics and promised to become much more so in the future The Author had undertaken to discuss the generalised subject of an integrated aircraft, and it would be difficult to find anyone better qualified to present a paper of this nature
