Sir,
I may be missing something here,
If the maximum propeller rpm is 2800 .
A single rotor engine with max rpm of 1100 with 37 KW @ 8750 rpm.
With a reduction drive of 3:1 one could achieve maximum propeller rpm
of 2800.
Why can't this engine with low HP but with high rpm be used on the
Parsons auto gyro ( on YouTube
https://youtu.be/QOwb8QRHrMY )which is
currently using the 12a Mazda rotary or can it ?
Best Regards
Zahid
37 KW is only 50 HP. A Mazda 12A 2 rotor makes at least 150 HP.
Gyro's, like everything else fly on HP. It probabbly takes a minimum
of 110 HP to fly a man powered gyro.

An aircraft called Escapade Kid G-CGTZ with MTOW of 250 kg
https://www.caa.co.uk/application.aspx?catid=60&pagetype=65&appid=1&mode=detailnosummary&fullregmark=CGTZ
is using the AIXRO XF40.
I know you are familiar with this company. How is that possible ?

Some super ultralights aircraft will fly on 50 HP.
Not gyro's. There is a lot more drag on a gyro.
