This event marked a significant milestone in aviation history, highlighting the risks and challenges associated with early flight experimentation.
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.
