Connecticut Residential Movers Will Be the Wind Beneath Your Wings
The state of Connecticut firmly believes in celebrating the successes of its residents. Advancements in aviation are particularly heralded as the state features a prominent aircraft industry. Connecticut chose Igor Sikorsky as its official Aviation Pioneer. Sikorsky, a Russian immigrant, lived and died in Easton, Connecticut. During his lifetime, he led the way in pioneering both helicopters and fixed-winged aircrafts. In 1913, he designed and flew the world’s very first multi-engine fixed-winged aircraft. A year later, he upped the ante for fellow pioneers by also designing and flying the first airliner. In 1939, he again astounded the world by designing and flying the first helicopter.

Residential Moving Can Be like a Walk on Cloud Nine if It All Goes According to Plan
Connecticut also claims pioneering aircraft designer Gustav Whitehead as the “Father of Connecticut Aviation.” Whitehead emigrated from Germany and began tinkering with the idea of early flying machines powered by engines. A Connecticut newspaper from 1901 claimed that he had made a successful power-controlled flight within the state, a full several years before the Wright brothers made liftoff in Kittyhawk, North Carolina. Though many aviation scholars have dismissed Whitehead’s efforts and successes, growing support from pro-Whitehead activists have brought renewed attention to his plans and designs. Today, many supporters in Connecticut, Germany and across the rest of the United States have recreated working models of Whitehead’s original flying machines. Whether or not Whitehead ever gains the national fame his supporters claim he deserves, he will maintain a valued place among Connecticut history – and so may you!
