Extract

Projections of future trends in any field must be somewhat subjective; this assessment of future research on rotorcraft is no exception. However, an effort has been made at objectivity by presenting results of past and current research efforts as a foundation from which the projections are made. These projected trends are solely the opinion of the author and do not represent the policy of any agency within Government or industry, nor are they committal in any sense. Although some illustrations are derived from specific systems under investigation, the general intent of the paper is to avoid discussion of systems and to present illustrations representative of basic problems in the field of rotorcraft for which research effort can be expected to yield significant advance in performance and design.
