1882 is the answer
It was 36 years between the first airplane flight and the first helicopter flight. The Wrights flew in 1903, Sikorsky flew his first helicopter in 1939.
I believe that would be an experimental helicopter in Germany, around 1937.
first manned helicopter flight
Igor Sikorsky and Paul Cornu invented the helicopter in 1907. It was the first operating helicopter to actually take flight.
The first flight to Mars was the Mars Ingenuity helicopter carried by the Perseverance rover, which landed on Mars on February 18, 2021. The helicopter's mission was to demonstrate powered flight in the thin Martian atmosphere.
In 400 AD there was a toy with the principle and shape of a helicopter. It was not a real helicopter. It was only a toy. The first manned flight was in 1906.
First tactical pilot of a helicopter flight.
Hannah Reitsch of Germany, before WW2
The first metal helicopter, known as the Focke-Wulf Fw 61, was developed in Germany and made its first flight in 1936. This helicopter featured a fully metal construction and was a significant advancement in rotorcraft design. Its successful flights demonstrated the feasibility of heavier-than-air rotary-wing flight, paving the way for future helicopter development.
Henrich Focke from Germany developed the first fully operational helicopter in the world: the FW 61 with its maiden flight in 1936.
The Bell 430 helicopter was produced in 1996. The helicopter took its first flight on October 25, 1994 and was first introduced to the public in 1995. In 2008, production of the Bell 430 was terminated.
No. The Wright brothers achieved flight before Igor Sikorsky created the first workable helicopter. There would have been no toy helicopter.
