description: "Enrico Forlanini was an Italian engineer, inventor and aeronautical pioneer, known for his works on helicopters, aeroplanes, hydrofoils and dirigibles. He made history in 1877 by successfully designing and flying the world’s first powered, unmanned helicopter, which proved that heavier-than-air flight was possible. His brilliant aerodynamic innovations also revolutionized airship design and maritime travel."
