description

Summary

Significance: The rotor test towers at Wright Field have been the Air Force's only in-house rotor test facilities and have been used to verify the integrity of helicopter rotors. When in use, the nearby gyroscopic propeller test stand simulated flight conditions better than conventional test stands.

Survey number: HAER OH-79-BD

Building/structure dates: 1950 Initial Construction

In spotlight at Congressional autogiro hearing. Washington, D.C., April 26. Highlight of today's news on Capitol Hill was the autogiro hearing before the House Military Affairs Committee, with Assistant Secretary of the Navy Charles Edison as the first witness. Outstanding aviation experts were asked their opinion of the value of rotor type of aircraft in time of war. Here we see, left to right: Prof. Alexander Klemin, Dean of the Guggenhein School of Aeronautics, New York City; Rep. Andrew J. may, Chairman of the House Military Affairs Committee, and Assistant Secretary of the Navy Charles Edison, 4/26/38
