Raúl Pateras
Pescara de Castelluccio (1890
– 1966), marquis of Pateras. Pescara was an engineer and inventor from Argentina who
specialized in automobiles, helicopters and free-piston
engines.
Pescara is credited
for being one of the first people to successfully utilize cyclic pitch, as
well as pioneering the use of auto-rotation for the safe landing of a
damaged helicopter. Pescara also set a world record (at the time) in
1924 for achieving a speed of 8 miles (13 km) per hour in a helicopter.
In Paris in 1915 after
being detained as a suspected spy, Raúl
is exonerated and goes to Spain to develop his theories on flight.
