Wings of Russia: Helicopters. Aerial All-Road Vehicles. (Episode 13 of 18)

The references about helicopters' prototypes reached us from the depth of centuries. In 4th century it was proposed by Chinese scientific Go Khun, in the 15th - by the great Leonardo da Vinci. The many-sided genius Mikhail Lomonosov also did not go around this theme. In 1754 he had built an "airfield machine" - actually a genuine small size helicopter. The vehicle, of course, didn't rise into the air, but conducted experiments made it possible to draw conclusions, which determined the subsequent development of helicopter construction...
