Igor Sikorsky was a Russian-American pioneer of aviation in both helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft.

Igor Sikorsky designed and flew the world's first multi-engine fixed-wing aircraft, the Russky Vityaz in 1913, and the first airliner, Ilya Muromets, in 1914.

Igor Sikorsky had made a small rubber band-powered helicopter at the age of 12.
