Harold F. Pitcairn was the genius. Igors first chopper was a wreck after 2 minutes, vibration so bad the pilots hands were numb. Pitcarin's first (after his mysterious death) was stable and hands off. He came up with the whole rotor head assembly, lead/lag/ flapping hinges, cyclic and collective controls.
