In 1958, even though he had never seen an actual helicopter before, and knowing little of helicopter design,[2] Cicaré's first successful helicopter design, the CH-1, flew for the first time.
In the late 1960s, Cicaré designed a V-4 engine for use in DKW automobiles. His best known works were the Cicaré CH-10 and CH-11 ultralight helicopters. He also helped create the Cicaré SVH-3 flight simulator.
He died in Saladillo, Buenos Aires on 26 January 2022, at the age of 84.[3]
