    When was the first helicopter constructed?

    Question #23233. Asked by Lozzer.

    Barrow boy

    The first true helicopter was the Focke Achgelis Fa61 constructed in Germany in 1938. It was unwieldy compared with modern helicopters, and the American Igor Sikorsky who was only months behind in his developments designed more efficient helicopters.

    Incidentally do not mistake an autogiro for a helicopter. they are entirely different.
