Abstract
PREFACEI was honoured to have been selected to deliver the 35thNikolsky Honorary Lecture. My graduate education at Princeton University owed much to the influence of Alexander A. Nikolsky, the second faculty member appointed to the Princeton Aeronautical Engineering Department in 1943(1). I arrived in 1963, only months after he passed away, but the memory of his presence was still vivid in the minds of his students and colleagues, as well as the professors who introduced me to rotorcraft(2,3). Bob Lynn, Senior Vice President at Bell Helicopter Textron, one of Nikolsky's most illustrious students, recalled the impact of his teaching in the 12thNikolsky Lecture in 1992(4).
