Paul Cornu invented the first flying helicopter. It didn’t travel very far and it was very dangerous. In 1939, Igor Sikorsky developed the helicopter and his design was used in WW2.
We were very excited to make our own helicopters and we flew them first in class, then we flew them from the balcony in the Street. they flew really well. A helicopter template is on Google Classroom for the children to make and fly at home.
