Are helicopters safe? What stops them form ripping themselves apart? And why can you feel a Chinook before you see it?
These are just a few of the questions answered by industry guru John Watkinson as he takes us on a deep and insightful journey of helicopter design at this year’s RTS-TVC Christmas Lecture on Wednesday 13th December, 7pm, Pincents Manor, Reading.
The theory and dynamics of helicopter flight are complex. But in his no-nonsense plain-speaking style Watkinson will de-mystify the concepts of rotary flight, and explain in lay-man’s terms how a helicopter operates.
Whilst writing his book “The Art of the Helicopter”, Watkinson has had unparalleled access to some of the world’s leading information and specialists on aerodynamic theory, design and performance, and will be sharing his knowledge with us.
Mulled wine and mince pies will be provided to celebrate what will be a truly memorable lecture.
And John Watkinson’s lectures are always booked to capacity, so reserve your place now to guarantee your seat.
Tickets are free – Wednesday 13th December, Pincents Manor, Reading RG31 4UQ – 7pm
