A gyroplane (as officially called by the FAA), is also known as a gyrocopter, autogyro, autogiro, gyro, giro or heligyro, and uses a rotor instead of a wing for lift.  The "autogiro" was invented by don Juan de la Cieva from Murcia, Spain, born September 21, 1895.  The first successful controlled flight of his autogiro invention took place on January 17, 1923. 

A gyro uses an engine to turn a propeller to propel it forward, in either a pusher or tractor configuration.  The rotor is always slightly tilted back in flight to allow the airflow from the gyro's forward speed to cause the rotor to spin, much as the wind causes a wind turbine to spin.  This action causes the rotor to create lift.  The rotor is simply a spinning wing.  The greater the G-load on the rotor blades, such as when making a tight turn, the faster the rotor will spin to make more lift as needed, and is self-regulating in this respect. 

The gyroplane is very easy to fly, extremely maneuverable and is known for short takeoffs and very short landings with little or no ground-roll.  The gyroplane will not "stall" like a fixed wing aircraft can if the airspeed is reduced too much.   A gyroplane can descend vertically without any power at about the speed of a parachute unlike a fixed wing aircraft, so pilot safety is a significant benefit when operating a gyroplane.

Most small gyroplanes can be transported and stored on a small trailer so you can easily take it to an airfield of your choice.  Save the high cost of hanger fees and airport tie-down fees by keeping your gyroplane on the trailer at your home or business.  The cost to keep and maintain one of our gyroplanes is about the same as a motorcycle. 

It is an unbelievably fun machine to fly and can operate in windy conditions that would otherwise keep an ultralight-type, fixed-wing aircraft on the ground.

COMING SOON!
Watch this site for the new Rotor Scooter ultralight tractor gyroplane.   Since it is an ultralight under Part 103, no license is required in the USA.  Adequate flight training is absolutely required to safely operate this gyroplane and is reasonably easy to obtain.

Some Rotor Scooter Features

The Rotor Scooter gyroplane is anticipated to be available to the public in the near future.  The selling price will be announced after the prototype has been built, test flown and found to be safe and stable in all respects, per the USA ASTM standards for gyroplanes.   Orders for the Rotor Scooter will then be accepted.  This gyroplane is intended for both domestic and all foreign markets where allowed by local aviation rules.
