2017年11月26日 · Bensen-type gyros, with fixed-pitch, seesaw rotors, are –with very few exceptions– the only extant type. Concerning speed, the autogyro is limited (as the helicopter) by retreating-blade stall, and they rarely surpass 200 km/h. Autogyros are very easy to fly, I would say that far easier than fixed-wing... $\endgroup$ –

2014年12月19日 · Generally speaking, the control response will not be as quick as a helicopter because of the lower operating rpm of the Autogyro’s rotor system.The critical task in flying a Autogyro is managing the energy of the rotor. If you fail to maintain air flowing through it, the speed drops drastically, and so does the rotor's ability to provide lift.

2020年4月10日 · The autogyro was invented as an aircraft that cannot stall - a friend of the inventor was killed in an aircraft stall accident. The usefulness of the autogyro is that it was the necessary step on the way to inventing the helicopter.

2018年3月27日 · So if an Autogyro pilot got into into a high angle of attack situation, and reacted by suddenly pushing the nose down into a zero G situation, the rotor blades would float weightlessly along with the aircraft. Its usually the next action that causes mast bumping. The pilot, out of his high AoA predicament, now pulls up to level off.

2024年5月2日 · An autogyro, also known as gyroplane, gyrocopter, or rotaplane, is a type of rotorcraft which uses an unpowered rotor in autorotation to develop lift, and an engine-powered propeller, similar to that of a fixed-wing aircraft, to provide thrust.

2013年11月7日 · Every member of our board flies the aircraft, yes every single person from Sales to technical to CEO, they ALL fly the AutoGyro. More than half the workforce of 150 people have their Gyro licenses and they FLY our aircraft. Talk is cheap, Flying is fun, AutoGyro, there really is a Difference! <attached photo of advanced market research!>

2003年10月30日 · Autogyro gmbh has written: “With the airflow now above rather than below the rotor disc the aircraft will rapidly roll over into the direction of flight, unless urgent corrective action is taken.” The zero lift does not fail, on the contrary, to create a descent rapidly increasing the transverse angle of attack and rebalancing the weight.

2003年10月30日 · AD: AutoGyro Certification Limited AD 2022-13-07 Prompted By Reports Of Rotor Blade Longitudinal Cracking The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all AutoGyro Certification Limited (type certificate previously held by RotorSport UK Ltd) Model Calidus, Cavalon, and MTOsport 2017 gyroplanes.

2023年1月21日 · A tailplane, on the other hand, might give enough nose-up moment to keep the autogyro from flipping over. The wings could also be helpful for roll control, especially if they are equipped with ailerons. With sufficient altitude, if the autogyro can be kept under control it should be possible to get the rotor RPM back up and resume normal flight.

2003年11月1日 · The history of German Rotorcraft to 1945 that I have refers to the Doblhoff as a helicopter. As you point out, it's actually a rotordyne, which is (in my taxonomy) a form of autogyro. A rotordyne is an aircraft which has tip-jet power for takeoff and landing only. The FA-330 was technically not an autogyro.
