Igor Sikorsky - this name stands at the beginning of the domestic aviation industry and at the very beginning of the construction of successful helicopter models. But not only that - Sikorsky's talent was enough for both seaplanes and ordinary passenger models. But the main thing is that he, an emigrant who moved to America and started all over again, was able to overcome circumstances, overcome repeated failures, raise money and produce a whole series of very successful airplanes, and then helicopters. This man is responsible for the creation of the world's first multi-engine bomber. And a whole range of high-end aircraft models.
