And as a supplement - another flying machine of the steampunk era, although not with a steam one, but with an air motor. In 1878, Frenchman Pierre Castell built a helicopter with eight coaxial screws combined into two groups. He was driven by a two-cylinder engine that operated on compressed air from a ground-based compressor, with which the helicopter was connected with a long hose. The device weighed 22 kilogram, that is - it was much heavier and larger than the Forlanini model.
On tests, the helicopter took off from the ground and rose to a height of about two meters, but in flight it almost immediately took off. The inventor did not have time to turn off the compressor, the car crashed into a stone fence and collapsed. The further fate of this device and its creator is unknown.
