No one can truly know. It's a mystery. There are records of all sorts of things. But the first full flight, read all about it is a ............ Tie? Most people are pretty sure it was Igor Sikorsky but the date of his flight is not final neither is the Froebe brothers. Yes no one has heard of them but it could be them. The first. Three brothers from some tiny place in Manitoba. Their helicopter is currently on display in the WCAM.

In 1878 the Italian Enrico Forlanini's unmanned vehicle powered by a steam engine, was the first of its type that rose to a height of 12 meters (40ft), where it hovered for some 20 seconds.
