Igor Ivanovich |
|
Igor Ivanovich Sikorsky (25 May 1889 - 26 October 1972) (Russian: Игорь Иванович Сикорский) was a Russian-American pioneer of aviation who designed and flew the world's first multi-engine fixed-wing aircraft, developed the first of Pan American Airways' ocean-conquering flying boats in the 1930s, and spearheaded the development of helicopters using the most common configuration (single main rotor with vertical tail rotor). Although Igor Sikorsky ranks just short of the Wright brothers themselves as an aviation pioneer, he is best remembered as the first person to achieve volume helicopter production, a milestone his company accomplished in World War II.
