The very first piloted helicopter was invented by Paul Cornu in 1907, but this design didn't work. Later, a Frenchman Etienne Oehmichen built and flew a helicopter 1 km in 1924. An earlier practical helicopter that flew for a decent amount of space was the "German Focke-Wulf Fw 61."

The first operational helicopter was built in 1936, the Focke-Wulf Fw 61.
It was not built then, but Leonardo da Vinci made a drawing of a helicopter in the 15th Century.

The first piloted helicopter was invented by Paul Cornu in 1907 and it was not successful. One of the first successful helicopters was built by Etienne Oehmichen in 1924 and flew for 1 kilometer.
It was 36 years between the first airplane flight and the first helicopter flight. The Wrights flew in 1903, Sikorsky flew his first helicopter in 1939.
Igor never flew a helicopter, but he did build one though.

The Wright brother built the first functional airplane and flew it in Kitty Hawk, NC.

The first practical helicopter built was the Sikorsky VS300, as in pic.
Many people of many nationalities worked on the helicopter as it was developed. The first working helicopter was probably the German Focke-Wulf Fw-61, which first flew in 1936.But the man who made the most important design change was Igor Sikorsky, a Russian who emigrated to the US. He 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.
