UKRANIAN ENGINEER IGOR SIKORSKY IS CREDITED WITH BUILDING THE WORLD'S FIRST HELICOPTER IN 1909, BUT IT WAS
MORE THAN 25 YEARS BEFORE EARLY PRACTICAL MACHINES, LIKE THE VS-300 WAS FLOWN.

UKRANIAN ENGINEER IGOR SIKORSKY IS CREDITED WITH BUILDING THE WORLD'S FIRST HELICOPTER IN 1909, BUT IT WAS MORE THAN 25 YEARS BEFORE EARLY PRACTICAL MACHINES - LIKE THE VS-300 (PICTURED) WAS FLOWN IN PRE-WAR TRIALS.

• Derives from a Greek word meaning “Helical Wing” or “Rotating Wing”
• Rotary wing aircraft: lift is produced by turning rotor blades which are airfoils

AT UTICA/ROME
• Do not need runways.
• Provides lift without the aircraft having to move forward.
• May be used in congested or isolated areas.
• May perform task which fixed wing aircraft can not.

What is a Helicopter?
• Unique Features– Rotating-wing vehicles– Ability to hover– Land and take-off vertically– Fly forward, backward and sideways
• Helicopters are closely related to autogyros and tiltrotors.

Motivation
• The overall unique aspect of a helicopter is it’s ability to hover for extended periods of time.
• The ability to hover it a very useful attribute.– An good example is that of a hummingbird.

• With this ability to hover, helicopters can perform a wide range of missions.

Comparison of Fixed-Wing Aircraft and Helicopters• Fixed Wing Aircraft
STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORKINSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
AT UTICA/ROMEHelicopters are subjected to the same four forces of flight as a fixed wing aircraft.

Distinct Differences Between Helicopters Fixed Wing Aircraft
• Rotary wings
• Ability to hover
• Ability to fly “along” all axes
• Vertical takeoff, landing, and the ability to fly backwards.
