Early Twentieth Century Advancements
Early Twentieth Century
The early Twentieth Century produced many historic moments in rotary-wing aviation. Brothers Louis and Jacques Breget rose some two inches off the ground in their helicopter model on August 24, 1907 (Sadler 2). A Frenchman named Paul Cornu also achieved free flight in his model in 1907 .The flight lasted only twenty seconds and acquired an altitude of thirty centimeters but was still a landmark development in helicopter evolution. The start of the Industrial Revolution had created a way for technology to advance
