Offering far more maneuverability than other aircraft, the earliest recognizable concepts of helicopters date back more than 2 thousand years ago in China with bamboo toys for children. Similar ideas would then make their way to Europe, with Leonardo da Vinci sketching a design in the 1480s… but, for centuries, they remained just miniature toys. It'd only be in 1942 that the first model of helicopter would go into full-scale production, and since then, engineers have designed countless different types that are suited to various purposes. The most impressive are the largest ones, though, so it’s time to see just how far this concept has been pushed, as we take a flight on the 15 biggest helicopters ever produced.
