Adams-Farwell rotary engine. The Berliner Helicopter is a series of experimental helicopters built by Henry Berliner between 1922 and 1925. The helicopters had only limited controllability but were the most significant step forward in helicopter design in the US, until the production of the Vought-Sikorsky VS-300 helicopter in 1940. [1]
Henry Adler Berliner (December 13, 1895 – May 1, 1970) was a United States aircraft and helicopter pioneer. Berliner Helicopter No. 5 (1924), as on exhibit in College Park, Md. Sixth son of inventor Emile Berliner , he was born in Washington, D.C.
In 1901, inventor Emile Berliner (1851–1929) began building experimental helicopters that used Addams-Farwell rotary engine. The Gyro Motor Company was formed in 1909 by Emile Berliner to make rotary engines. His designs were improvements of the Addams-Farwell rotary engine Berliner used in early helicopter experiments. The engines at the ...

The Robinson R44 aircraft spun out of control on its approach to the helicopter garage at Pearland Regional Airport around 9:30 Sunday morning, the dizzying CCTV footage of the incident showed.
In addition to helicopter development, many approaches have been tried to develop practical aircraft with vertical take-off and landing capabilities, including Henry Berliner's 1922–1925 experimental horizontal-rotor fixed-wing aircraft, and Nikola Tesla's 1928 patent, and George Lehberger's 1930 patent for relatively impractical VTOL fixed ...
