	IGOR I. SIKORSKY STORY
		Sikorsky developed an early interest in aviation, thanks largely to the influence of his mother, who was a doctor, and his father, a psychology professor.
		Sikorsky was especially proud of the helicopter's life saving ability and of organizations such as the Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Service which had put helicopters to what he believed was their finest use.
		Sikorsky continued to work as an engineering consultant for Sikorsky and he was at his desk the day before he died, on October 26, 1972, at the age of 83.

		Inspired by Jules Verne fiction, Sikorsky had experimented with this type of flying machine as a schoolboy and later as a young engineer in Russia.
		Until his death in 1972, Igor Sikorsky was active in the affairs of his firm as a consulting engineer striving to develop the nonmilitary potential of the helicopter.
		Sikorsky's autobiography, The Story of the Winged S., originally published in 1938 has been updated in subsequent editions, the most recent in 1948.

		Sikorsky had experimented with helicopter type flying machines whilst in Russia; he brought his work to fruition on the 24th May 1940 when he performed the first successful helicopter flight, in the Vought-Sikorsky 300, a machine with a single three-blade rotor powered by a 75 horsepower (56 kW) engine.

	[2.0] Igor Sikorsky & The Beginnings Of The Helicopter Industry
		Sikorsky was now effectively out of the fixed-wing aircraft business and into the helicopter business full-time; he said later: "It was a wonderful chance to relive one's life all over again." He claimed the machine would cost $30,000 USD to build.
		Sikorsky got so frustrated at this problem that he even considered reversing the seat arrangement and leaving it at that, but he eventually realized that in forward flight the downwash from the main rotor system was washing out the effect of the tail rotor system, indicating a need to do some adjustment in position.
		Sikorsky would become the most famous of the helicopter pioneers, leading to a widespread myth that he was actually the inventor of the helicopter himself, which he was always careful to deny.

	Igor Sikorsky-Helicopter
		Although Sikorsky is not generally credited with inventing any new solutions to the problems of controlling a helicopter in flight, he is widely regarded as the person who improved existing technology and made the helicopter practical and successful.
		His mechanics began calling it "Igor's nightmare." By November 1939, the craft was making hops lasting a minute or two, but it was heavily damaged in December when a gust of wind toppled the machine and the rotor blades smashed against the ground.
		Sikorsky's VS-300 was significant because it was the first working helicopter that did not require two counter-rotating rotors to cancel out torque, instead using a tail rotor that provided thrust in the opposite direction of the torque.

		Igor I. Sikorsky's interest in rotary wing flight first manifested itself in 1909 when he produced two unsuccessful experimental helicopters in Russia.
		In constructing the VS-300 30 years later, Igor Sikorsky solved the problem of anti-torque control and developed a successful rotor head which incorporated features that enabled the pilot to control motion in all directions.
		Development of and use by the Army of Sikorsky CH-37 medium cargo and CH-54 heavy lift helicopters were further tributes to the engineering genius for which he was renowned.
