EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the unusual Cornu Helicopter of 1907, an early aviation innovation that defied conventional aircraft design. The image shows the exterior view of the helicopter, with its distinctive rotary wing and unusual shape. The Cornu Helicopter, designed by Paul Cornu, was an early attempt at creating a powered helicopter, predating the famous work of Igor Sikorsky and Frank Piasecki by several decades. The photo reveals a group of people gathered around the helicopter, likely engineers or aviation enthusiasts, studying its unique features. At the helm of the aircraft, a focused pilot dons a leather helmet and goggles, ready for a test flight. The Cornu Helicopter's rotary wing, with its delicate wooden blades, rotates rapidly, creating a sense of motion and energy. The Cornu Helicopter's design was considered quite weird and unusual for its time, with its winged rotor and unconventional shape. Despite its unconventional appearance, the helicopter represented an important step forward in the development of rotary-wing aircraft. Although it did not achieve commercial success, the Cornu Helicopter paved the way for future helicopter designs and helped advance the field of aviation technology. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the Cornu Helicopter's unique design and the excitement surrounding early aviation innovation.
