The History Of Autogiros

Recommended Posts

Good one, Pete - and from a TV series ... Wings Over the World(?) I recall (paraphrased) a comment made by a retired naval chopper pilot who was keeping up his skills - and himself young - flying a modern-day autogyro: there is a large price involved to enable a static hover.

 

I wonder if there is any role at all for full size autogyros in today's aviation scene? The negative view held by some of the public of the small ones is surely due to their being in the hands of amateur enthusiasts and the media publicity given to the occasional accident.
