The interrelations established in an earlier report (NACA-TM-921) are used to study the best assumptions for hovering and horizontal flight. The effect of the twisted and tapered blade on the rotor efficiency is analyzed and the gliding coefficient at different stages (from autogyro to helicopter) of horizontal flight compared. To the extent that model or full-scale test data are available, they are included in the comparison.
