That's a very difficult question as rotors were developed by many people from as far back as the 1800's. - Possibly the first successful rotor as we know it today was developed by Juan de la Cierva in 1923. His rotor was widely used in 'gyroplanes' which were aircraft with minimal wings, and in which the rotor turned freely to provide lift, but was not powered. These aircraft were powered by an engine pulling it forward, and this motion turned the rotor. The first really successful powered rotor was developed by Igor Sikorsky during the early 1940's.
