Captain Sikorsky Work 【DELUXE ROUNDUP】

Sikorsky began his career in Russia, where he gained national recognition for his early aircraft designs.

The VS-300 introduced the single main rotor and single anti-torque tail rotor configuration , a design that has become the standard for most helicopters worldwide.
