The Gyroplane Laboratoire was an early helicopter. Its designer Frenchman Louis Breguet had already experimented with rotorcraft in 1909 however he chose to concentrate on airplanes until the end of the 1920s. In 1929 he announced a set of patents which addressed the flight stabilization of rotorcraft and in 1931 Breguet created the Syndicat d’Etudes de Gyroplane (French for Syndicate for Gyroplane Studies) together with Rene Dorand as technical director.
