Paul,

Do you have details on autogiro's running rotaries ? Pardon my
thoughts, but I think a rotary would work well.


Thanks,

Barron

I don't have any dwgs but Gary Buster might help you out.

Back in the days of the late Cierva and before the Advent of the helicopter the autogyro was quite a capable machine.
It had heavy two or more bladed rotor systems which stored a great amount of energy.
Todays autogyros on the other hand in my opinion as a rated Chpl with IFR must be the daftest thing out there.
Flimsy contraptions with energyretention on the scale of a chopstick.
You would not find my behind in One of them on a calm, stable day let alone in any kind of turbulence. Surprises me they are legal.

Have you looked at the you tube video?

I filmed the video. Looked pretty good to me.
However it was a calm day.

IMHO the main problem is MPG.
