Black
A Mr R. Black, of Mollinsburn and Cumbernauld, near Glasgow,
Lanarkshir, built a helicopter in 1909. A report described it as being fitted with two FN motorcycle engines driving a 'multi-blade
fan and a two-bladed propeller above the head'. At the back were wings with a crossbar to control incidence. The engine was
also reported as a seven-cylinder rotary. Black
had previously made an unsuccessful biplane using the same powerplant.
