Extract

Hydrodynamics and aerodynamics start as one science and retain an extensive common base, including, for example, a wealth of fundamental theory and observation of streamline flows, boundary layers and vortical motions, (Plate 1).

But research and design have opened up the two frontiers in different directions, to support and often to lead the evolution and development of the respective fields of application — ships and aeroplanes, or ships and helicopters, or helicopters and other marine structures.

We are reminded of how far the helicopter has become an integral and indispensible part of the maritime scene and of so many maritime operations, and this is one of the best tributes to the great pioneering genius, drive and enthusiasm of Raoul Hafner who is very much in our minds as we consider the possibilities and prospects for cross fertilisation.
