Why did Igor Sikorsky make the helicopter?
He made one because he wanted to help people with there travels. He also wanted to make a helicopter because he thought it would be fun.Another reason is because he probably wanted to make money and when you make something big you get money from it. *don't take this answer I guessed on it.
When were planes or helicopters invented?
It is said that the beginning of inventing flying objects started on the 19th century. The goal to make a flying machine started with Otto Lilienthal who makes gliders and the one who created the book about the study of flight which is also know as AERODYNAMICS. Leonardo Da Vinci draw a sketch of a helicopter at his time and the first successful flying helicopter was designed by the Russian Igor Sikorsky in the late 1939.
Who invented helicopters?
Leonardo da Vinci "invented" the concept. It is demonstrated in his drawings. But it wasn't until Sikorsky and others that the helicopter came into being as a flight worthy craft.Many people worked on various kinds of helicopters over the years, so no one person invented the helicopter.The single most important advance in helicopter design was by Juan Cierva of Spain when he developed an articulated rotor system on his auto gyro (gyroplane).Next would be Prof. Focke of Germany, who built what was was arguably the first fully controllable helicopter (Fw-61) several years before Sikorsky.Igor Sikorsky then built a helicopter in the US that reached full-scale production in 1942 (131 aircraft built). His design of one main rotor and a small tail rotor became the standard.Earlier designs included:400 BC, Chinese children playing with bamboo flying toys.1480 Leonardo da Vinci designed an "aerial screw" flying machine.1861 Gustave d'Amecourt demonstrated a small steam powered helicopter made of aluminum. It didn't get off the ground, but it was the first use of the word "helicopter".1877 Enrico Forlanini in a park in Milan flew an unmanned steam driven helicopter 13 meters in the air. It stayed aloft for 20 seconds.1878 in France Emmanuel Dieuaide flew a model more than 12 meters (40 feet) high for 20 seconds. It had two opposite spinning rotors and was powered through a hose from a boiler on the ground.1885 Thomas Edison in the US built a helicopter but it failed to take off, exploding and burning one of his workers.1901 Ján Bahýľ, a Slovak, used an internal combustion engine (petrol) to fly a model helicopter that flew 0.5 meters (1.6 feet) above the ground. In 1905 his helicopter flew 1.5 km at a height of 4 meters (13 feet).1907, two French brothers, Jacques and Louis Brequet developed the Gyroplane No.1. The plane lifted its pilot up into the air about two feet (0.6 m) for a minute but it needed two people on the ground to keep it balanced.1907 French inventor Paul Cornu designed and built a Cornu helicopter that lifted its inventor to 1 foot (0.3 m) and remained aloft for 20 seconds. This machine was later abandoned.1908, Thomas Edison patented his own design for a gasoline powered helicopter with box kites attached to a mast, but it never flew.1912 William J. Purvis and Charles A. Wilson applied for and received a patent for a "Flying Machine" of the helicopter type on June 4, 1912. With Purvis at the controls it flew 20 feet into the air.1924, in Argentine Raúl Pateras Pescara's helicopter No. 3 could fly for up ten minutes. He also developed the idea of tilting the engine and blades to make the machine fly forward.Abert Gillis von Baumhauer received the first patent for a true working helicopter in 1927.1937 The German Fw 61 broke all the helicopter world records and several of the aircraft flew during World War 2.In the US LePage had the patent rights for the German Fw 61, and he built the XR-1.Igor Sikorsky was competing with LePage to build the first military helicopter. Sigorsky developed a single small rotor on the tail to keep his VS-300 steady. His later model, the R-4, got military orders for over 400 before the end of the World War 2.At the same time Arthur Young was working for Bell Aircraft to eventually develop the Bell 47, the most popular civilian model for the next 30 years.i thinnk Leonardo da vinci like drew one? a long time ago but he didnt make itLeonardo Da Vinci invented the first most closed helicopter ideal model. But it wasn't stable at all. Later, it was improved by many other inventors Igor Sikorsky, 1942. There were some similar aircraft previous to 1942, but Sikorsky'sdesign is considered universally to be "the helicopter". See the related link.Long BearRussian born, US aeronautical engineer, Igor Sikorsky (1889-1972), designed and flew the first four engined aircraft in 1913 and designed the first successful helicopter in 1939.As to why, I can only guess that he saw a need and fulfilled it, or somebody asked him, or he picked up on one of Leonardo Da Vinci's ideas.There was a toy, c.2000 years old, which makes use of the same principle as da Vinci, discovered in China.Leonardo da Vinci conceptualised a helicopter he didn't exactly invent on.In 1784, French inventor, Launoy and Bienvenue created a toy with a rotary-wing that could lift and fly and proved the principle of helicopter flight.The very first piloted helicopter was invented by Paul Cornu in 1907, however, this design was not successful. French inventor, Etienne Oehmichen built and flew a helicopter one kilometer in 1924. Another early helicopter that flew for a decent distance was the German Focke-Wulf Fw 61, invented by an unknown inventor.Igor Sikorsky is considered to be the "father" of helicopters not because he invented the first successful helicopter, upon which further designs were based.Helicopter was discovered by Leonado Davinci.Date and How discovered-In 400AD there was a helicopter style spinning toy. 1906 was the first manned flight in a helicopter.
Who made the first explosives?
The ancient Chinese were the first to make gunpowder - we have no record of who actually invented it.
How the helicopter has impacted society What would have happened if the helicopter had not been invented?
Helicopter has impacted society in many ways (depending on the uses) because of its special hability that airplanes does not have, which is vertical take off, and landing: * Transportation: They make transportation (passengers and cargo mostly) easier, faster, and somehow safetier than some other kinds. This is primarely the reason #1 why they have impacted our society. * Media: The press use helicopters for particular purposes, mainly to take a look at the freeway congestions. * SecurityHaving a helicopter in the sky means a great advantage because you can cover much more sighting than being just on land. So the police uses Helicopters to follow suspects. In that way it would be much harder for them to scape. * Rescue/ Evacuation Sometimes an ambulance just can't get on time where it needs to be. A helicopter on the other hand, gets faster wherever you need it because it doesn't has to deal with the obstacules a car would face (like walls, rivers, forests, etc...), and where airplanes would crash easily. So having a helicopter as an ambulance, it could save a live that other wise would be lost with another kind of transportation. When a person gets lost in the wild (mountains, oceans,etc), a helicopter is generally the best way to star the research. Sometimes when a disaster happens (floods mainly), the only way to get into the place it's by helicopter. * Fire countrol As a firefighter, you need two things to extinguish a fire: time and water (well you can use other things). But sometimes those two are tighltly limited with fire trucks. Helicopters can make it all the way faster and carring much more water than a fire truck could. So it represents a great advantage for firefighters. * Federal Forces Techniques/ Strategies The Army/Navy could use helicopters for a bunch of different things. For example: They could armed a helicopter with anti-artillery equipment, and destroy enemy foreces, thus, clearing the area (or help to) to allow allied forces come by. Or they could use helicopters for extraction operations. And many others, too. * Others: * Movie film * personal transportation * specialized business: tours and related sutff * aerial cranes * just for fun. * And surely much more.like these examples mentioned above, helicopters had impacted people's lives dramatically, forever. for more detailed information you can visit wikipedia: helicopters

Do the lights on the Silver Bullet RC Helicopter turn on automatically?
Yes, but first you have to make sure you have charged the helicopter until the green "charge" light goes out (about 15 - 20 minutes if it's the first time you're charging it), and then you have to turn on the helicopter with the on-off switch that is right between the words "off" and "on" on the underside of the helicopter.
