The first successful flight of a helicopter is credited to Paul Cornu, who achieved this milestone on November 13, 1907, in France. His experimental aircraft, powered by a 24-horsepower engine, managed to lift off the ground for about 20 seconds. Although it was not a practical design, it marked a significant step in the development of vertical flight technology. Subsequent advancements led to more successful and practical helicopter designs in the following decades.
