	Our History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Igor Ivanovich Sikorsky was born in Kiev on May 25, 1889.
		Sikorsky abandoned his first helicopter in October 1909 and returned to Paris to study the near-term promise of the airplane.
		The Sikorsky S-47 or XR-4 was delivered to the U.S. Army Air Corps in May 1942, the prototype for the first helicopter produced in quantity for the U.S. armed forces.

	Connecticut's Heritage Gateway
		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.

		Igor Sikorsky was born in Kiev, Russian Empire (now Ukraine) and studied at the Naval War College in St.
		Sikorsky's planes were used by Russia as bombers in World War I (see Ilya Muromets) and he was decorated with the Cross of St. Vladimir.
		In 1919 Sikorsky emigrated from Russia to the United States seeing little opportunity for himself as an aircraft designer in Europe, torn by the war, and, particularly in Russia, ravaged by the Revolution and Civil War.

	[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.

	Fun with Igor Sikorsky-
		Sikorsky's first fixed-wing designs were none too successful, but his sixth was able to fly at over 60 mph with four passengers, and won a cash prize at the 1912 St Petersburg military competition.
		Sikorsky's first love was still the helicopter, and in September 1939 he started to test the VS-300, the first successful single-rotor helicopter.
		Igor Sikorsky survived into his early eighties, dying in 1972, and was able to see the helicopter evolve from an occasionally successful experimental craft to an important and versatile means of transport used for everything from moving passengers and troops to fighting forest fires, evacuating casualties and providing close battlefield support.

	No. 507: Igor Sikorsky
		gor Sikorsky was born in Russia in 1889.
		Sikorsky's first real successes in America were his passenger amphibians and seaplanes.

	Igor Sikorsky Summary
		In one case, Sikorsky crash-landed after a mosquito was caught in his fuel tank and clogged the carburetor.
		By 1923 Sikorsky was back on his wings, and 1928 marked the return of Sikorsky's success, as he became a United States citizen and sold the first of his flying boats to Pan American Airways.
		Igor Sikorsky was born in Kyiv, Russia (currently Ukraine), as the youngest of five children.

	Funeral Gregory Sikorsky
		Sikorsky, a five-year veteran of the New York Fire Department, was one of six members of Rescue Squad 41 who lost their lives in the collapse of the south tower on Sept. 11.
		Sikorsky's funeral on Friday will be at St. Boniface Church in Wesley Hills, the same site where hundreds of Rockland County firefighters gathered just two days after the attack to hold a prayer vigil for Sikorsky, who was a 16-year veteran of the Wesley Hills volunteer fire department.

	U.S. agency criticizes Sikorsky craft - Boston.com
		Sikorsky sued the Defense Contract Management Agency in U.S. District Court in Washington a year ago in an effort to prevent the release of documents pertaining to Black Hawk production inspections.
		Sikorsky said the documents would reveal proprietary information, and would be used by competitors to unfairly disparage Sikorsky in the eyes of customers.
		Sikorsky and other helicopter manufacturers have increasingly relied on subcontractors as demand spiked due to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

	Sikorsky XR-4
		Originally, Sikorsky designed the XR-4 with two small lifting rotors on the tail-boom, in addition to the anti-torque rotor, to provide lateral and longitudinal control, as he had done in the design of the VS-300.
		Sikorsky eventually developed a cyclic pitch change mechanism for the VS-300, and was able to eliminate the tail-mounted lifting rotors.
		Sikorsky had a skill he called engineering intuition and he used it not only to develop XR-4 into the R-4, the first operational helicopter in U.S. military service, but also to establish his company as one of the world's premier helicopter manufactures.

	Sikorsky UH-34
		Igor Sikorsky and his design team discovered that if they moved the engine to the front of the cabin, closer to the axis of the main rotor, the center-of-gravity envelope became much larger.
		Sikorsky engineers inclined the engine at a 45-degree angle so that the drive shaft would not run through the main cabin, though this created a partition between the cockpit and main cabin.
		Sikorsky built 1,825 S-58s and UH-34s including the A, C, G, and J models, but the D became the most common.

	Sikorsky S-92 - Aerospace Technology
		The S-92 is an evolution of Sikorsky’s S-70 US Army Black Hawk and US Navy Seahawk helicopters and is available in a 19-seat passenger commercial, a 22 troop utility and a number of mission-specific configurations including Search and Rescue (SAR), government and VIP transportation.
		In response to requests for additional cabin space, Sikorsky has increased the cabin length of the final prototype by 41cm, reduced the height of the tail pylon and relocated the horizontal stabiliser.
		Following an agreement with Sikorsky, BAE Systems Aerospace Controls is to develop a fly-by-wire flight control system for the S-92, which will consist of a flight control computer, two pilot control sticks and sensors for processing pitch, roll and yaw data.

	Sikorsky, Lockheed protest Boeing contract - Boston.com
		Sikorsky Aircraft and Lockheed Martin Corp. are protesting a $15 billion contract awarded to Boeing Co. for search and rescue aircraft.
		The decision to award the contract to Boeing was the latest blow to Sikorsky, a division of Hartford-based United Technologies Corp. Sikorsky sought to replace its own Pave Hawk helicopters that the Air Force has flown since 1982 on rescue missions.
		Sikorsky spent about $1 billion developing the new S-92 model, according to analyst estimates, but it has yet to find a U.S. government buyer.

	VS-300 Vought-Sikorsky Helicopter
		Sikorsky had never lost interest in the helicopter and had, in 1931, taken out a patent to cover a helicopter with major innovations.
		Thus it was that Vought-Sikorsky began a courtship with helicopters that would eventually lead to the separation of Vought and Sikorsky and the emergence of one of the world's greatest helicopter producers.
		Sikorsky himself piloted the VS-300 on its first tethered lift-off, on 14 September 1939, and other brief tethered lifts followed in November with weights suspended from the airframe to assist stability.

		It was during the inaugural flight of the S-40 on November 19, 1931 that Igor Sikorsky and Charles Lindbergh began discussing an improved and larger aircraft.
		With Juan Trippe's eyes now set on the oceans, the new plane called for an increased lifting capacity that would permit carrying fuel for a 2500 mile nonstop flight against a 30 mile-an-hour wind, at a cruising speed far in excess of the average operating speed of any flying boat at that time.
