Results for tag: "Autogyro"

The Autogyro is a type of aircraft that uses an unpowered rotor in free autorotation to develop lift. It is an aircraft that combines features of the helicopter and the fixed-wing aircraft, with the rotor providing lift and the propeller providing thrust. Autogyros are typically used for recreational and sport flying, but they have also been used for aerial photography, surveillance, and other applications. Autogyros are typically smaller and less expensive than helicopters, and they are easier to fly and maintain. They are also quieter and more fuel-efficient than helicopters, making them attractive to pilots who want to fly recreationally or for business purposes. The Autogyro market is a niche market within the larger aircraft industry. It is a relatively small market, but it is growing in popularity due to its advantages over helicopters.
