The man who flew Sikorsky first. The legacy of Igor Sikorsky, our company’s founder, still leads the helicopter industry today, and the Winged-S emblem still signifies the world’s most advanced rotorcraft. The Russian-born scientist, engineer, pilot and entrepreneur made fixed and rotary wing aviation history with a mix of genius and determination. In 1931, Igor patented a design that is now familiar throughout the helicopter industry - a single large main rotor and small anti-torque tail rotor. The stable, practical, and immensely versatile flying machines invented by Igor Sikorsky in the early 1930s continue to influence the innovations and quality of our helicopters today.
