Igor Sikorsky and Paul Cornu invented the helicopter in 1907. It was the first operating helicopter to actually take flight.
In Stanford, Conn.
Igor Sikorsky created the first successful helicopter
Henrich Focke from Germany developed the first fully operational helicopter in the world: the FW 61 with its maiden flight in 1936.
The concept of a helicopter dates back earlier than 1939. While the first practical and successful helicopter, the VS-300, was designed by Igor Sikorsky and flown in 1939, the idea of vertical flight had been explored by various inventors before that. Here are some key milestones in the development of helicopters: Conceptual Designs (Late 19th to Early 20th Century): Various inventors, including Leonardo da Vinci, made conceptual sketches of vertical flight machines. However, it was not until the 20th century that significant progress was made. First Autogyro (1923): Juan de la Cierva's autogyro, the precursor to the helicopter, made its first successful flight in 1923. While not a true helicopter, the autogyro demonstrated the viability of rotary-wing aircraft. Focke-Wulf Fw 61 (1936): The Focke-Wulf Fw 61, designed by Henrich Focke, was the first fully controllable helicopter to see significant success. It set several world records in 1937 and demonstrated the feasibility of stable rotary-wing flight. Igor Sikorsky's VS-300 (1939): Igor Sikorsky's VS-300, flown for the first time in 1939, is often considered the first practical and successful helicopter. It featured a single main rotor and a tail rotor for anti-torque, a configuration still used in many helicopters today. Mass Production (1940s and Beyond): The helicopter became more widely used during and after World War II. Sikorsky's R-4 became the first helicopter to enter mass production, and helicopters played vital roles in various military and civilian applications. So, while the first successful practical helicopter flight occurred in 1939 with Sikorsky's VS-300, the journey toward vertical flight had involved multiple inventors and experimental designs over the preceding decades.
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.
1882 is the answer
Igor Sikorski constructed the first successful modern helicopter
I believe that would be an experimental helicopter in Germany, around 1937.
Igor Sikorsky did.
Igor Sikorsky!:))))
Many people contributed ideas, but Igor Sikorski made the first successful helicopter
first manned helicopter flight
The first piloted helicopter was invented by Paul Cornu in 1907 and it was not successful. One of the first successful helicopters was built by Etienne Oehmichen in 1924 and flew for 1 kilometer.
Igor Sikorsky designed the first truly succesful helicopter with the VS-300. The VS-300 went through its flight testst between 1939-1941. The VS-300 became the base model for many helicopters that came after it.

First tactical pilot of a helicopter flight.
