excellent and world known helicopters were named after this famous Russian/Jewish/Polish guy.... who has such a typical Polish name but was born in Kiev.

The only fellow that comes to mind is: Igar, Sikorsky. He was born in Kiev, although not the inventor of the Helicopter, but devised the basic design that has been followed to the present.
I am not sure if he was Jewish and Polish though, if that is, this is the man you are referring to.

Karl,
you are right, it was Sikorsky. His name sounds so Polish but he was rather Russian, maybe Russian Jewish slightly, but he had only a bit of Polish blood.
