Leonardo da Vinci (1452â1519) is generally credited with inventing the helicopter, but the first practical design was developed only in the 1930s by Russian-born Igor Sikorsky (1889â1972). Today, typical uses for helicopters include military transportation and air-sea rescue.eonardo da Vinci (1452â1519) is generally credited with inventing the helicopter, but the first practical design was developed only in the 1930s by Russian-born Igor Sikorsky (1889â1972).

Report Abuse. Actually, Igor Sikorsky was NOT the inventor of the helicopter. That honor belongs to a Frenchman named Paul Cornu in 1907 (some three years prior to Sikorsky's design), whose design was not successful. Another Frenchman, Etienne Oehmichen flew a helicopter for a distance of one kilometer in 1924.An early successful helicopter that flew for a decent distance was the Focke-Wulf FW-61 which was invented by an unknown inventor.DaVinci drew a plan for a helicopter-like device, but of course it was never built or flown.nother Frenchman, Etienne Oehmichen flew a helicopter for a distance of one kilometer in 1924.
