After immigrating to the United States, Sikorsky founded the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation in 1923, and developed the first of Pan American Airways'' ocean-conquering flying boats in the 1930s. In 1939, he designed and flew the Vought-Sikorsky VS-300, the first viable American helicopter, which pioneered the rotor configuration used by most helicopters today. Sikorsky would modify the design into the Sikorsky R- 4, which became the world''s first mass-produced helicopter in 1942.
