The brothers
During 1906, the brothers Louis and Jacques Brguet began their rc helicopter simulation experiments and meticulously tested airfoil shapes under the guidance of Professor Charles Richet. In 1907, they built the Brguet-Richet Gyroplane No. 1, one of the first mechanical devices to actually hover. The gyroplane flew for one minute on August 24, 1907 (some sources say September 29, 1907) in what is generally accepted as the first vertical flight. A 45-horsepower (33.5-kilowatt) engine provided just enough power to achieve vertical flight. However, there was no means of control or stability, and it needed four men to steady it while it hovered about 2 feet (0.6 meters) off the ground. Without a control system, it was not a practical rc helicopter games.
