Hi,


here is the Nicolas Florine Type III helicopter of 1935,but unfortunately the picture
did't see the details of that design.

Just a question: The last two pictures are showing the Florine 4, I think, which we had here:
http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,9977.msg92950.html#msg92950
Seems to have been a post-war project, but, as it was just after the war, maybe we should put
them all in one thread ?

Everything you want to know about the helicopter design by Nicolas Florine in this book:

But unfortunately, you'll have to look for it on the second-hand market, as it is not longer available...
