The helicopter was one of the first successful forms of VTOL-capable aircraft, with Étienne Oehmichen of France and Raúl Pateras-Pescara de Castelluccio of Argentina being the first two to have successfully developed rotor-based helicopters that took off, hovered, and flew.

Following this, several other VTOL aircraft that were developed later on use technology that is similar in principle with the helicopter, and these rotor-based aircraft were used by various countries during World War II. Some examples include Sikorsky R-4, used by the United States, and Focke-Wulf Fw 61, used by Germany.

History
The helicopter was one of the first successful forms of VTOL-capable aircraft, with Étienne Oehmichen of France and Raúl Pateras-Pescara de Castelluccio of Argentina being the first two to have successfully developed rotor-based helicopters that took off, hovered, and flew.
Following this, several other VTOL aircraft that were developed later on use technology that is similar in principle with the helicopter, and these rotor-based aircraft were used by various countries during World War II. Some examples include Sikorsky R-4, used by the United States, and Focke-Wulf Fw 61, used by Germany.
This development sets the trend to follow for further VTOL aircraft advancements. Aeronautical technology companies start experimenting with alternative propeller models of VTOL aircraft, which manifested in the invention of the Harrier Jet around the late 1950s. Instead of being powered by rotors, the Harrier used jet engine as its propeller.
