List Of Kenyans Who Own Helicopters. A helicopter is a type of rotorcraft in which lift and thrust are supplied by horizontally spinning rotors. This allows the helicopter to take off and land vertically, to hover, and to fly forward, backward and laterally. These attributes allow helicopters to be used in congested or isolated areas where fixed-wing aircraft and many forms of STOL (Short TakeOff and Landing) or STOVL (Short TakeOff and Vertical Landing) aircraft cannot perform without runway.
In 1942, the Sikorsky R-4 became the first helicopter to reach full-scale production. Although most earlier designs used more than one main rotor, the configuration of a single main rotor accompanied by a vertical anti-torque tail rotor (i.e. unicopter, not to be confused with the single-blade monocopter) has become the most common helicopter configuration. However, twin-main rotor helicopters (bicopters), in either tandem or transverse rotors configurations, are sometimes in use due to their greater payload capacity than the monorotor design, and coaxial-rotor, tiltrotor and compound helicopters are also all flying today. Quadrotor helicopters (quadcopters) were pioneered as early as 1907 in France, and along with other types of multicopters have been developed mainly for specialized applications such as drones.

Mr. Jonathan Leakey
Jonathan Harry Erskine Leakey (* 4. November 1940; † 12. Juli 2021) war ein kenianischer Geschäftsmann. In Fachkreisen der Paläoanthropologie wurde er international bekannt, nachdem er im Oktober 1960 den fossilen Unterkiefer eines im Alter von annähernd zehn Jahren gestorbenen Kindes entdeckt hatte, das einer bis dahin unbekannten Art von Urmenschen angehörte. Das Fossil ist auch unter dem Spitznamen „Jonnys Child“ bekannt geworden. Jonathan Leakey war der erste Sohn der gleichfalls international bekannten Paläoanthropologen Louis Leakey und Mary Leakey, und sein Vater war es, der 1964 dieses Fossil (Sammlungsnummer OH 7) zum Typusexemplar von Homo habilis erklärte. Sein jüngerer Bruder, Richard Leakey (1944–2022), galt wie beider Eltern als einer der bedeutendsten Paläoanthropologen der Gegenwart und war in Kenia zudem als Umweltschützer bekannt.
