US Aviation progress under the Crown?

On this Independence Day, I wonder what more or less would have occurred in aviation had the US still been under English control. Would technology have stalled, increased and more money been available? Would Russians such as Sikorsky came here or would he have had the same ability and freedom to experiment in Europe? A lot of "What ifs"! All the Best to our rotored friends across the pond and the same to those on our mainland! Keep the shiny side up when flying and driving this memorable day!
