An autogyro (from Greek α’υτός + γύρος, self-turning), 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. While similar to a helicopter rotor in appearance, the autogyro's rotor must have air flowing through the rotor disc to generate rotation. Invented by the Spanish engineer Juan de la Cierva to create an aircraft that could fly safely at slow speeds, the autogyro was first flown on 9 January 1923, at Cuatro Vientos Airfield in Madrid. De la Cierva's aircraft resembled the fixed-wing aircraft of the day, with a front-mounted engine and propeller in a tractor configuration to pull the aircraft through the air.
Under license from Cierva in the 1920s and 1930s, the Pitcairn & Kellett companies made further innovations. Late-model autogyros patterned after Etienne Dormoy's Buhl A-1 Autogyro and Igor Bensen's designs feature a rear-mounted engine and propeller in a pusher configuration. The term Autogiro was a trademark of the Cierva Autogiro Company, and the term Gyrocopter was used by E. Burke Wilford who developed the Reiseler Kreiser feathering rotor equipped gyroplane in the first half of the twentieth century. The latter term was later adopted as a trademark by Bensen Aircraft.
The operation in this video was performed on a closed course.
The aircraft is a legal ultralight and all participants
(including camera operators and motorcycle riders) were
safety briefed and part of this production.
There was a post brief with the FAA
after this shoot was completed.

How The Auto-Giro Works (1931)
"The development of air travel depends almost entirely on safety. One contribution to safety is the auto giro 'plane, and although many of us have seen one, we believe this to be the first explanation of the machine's working." M/S of a man standing beside a Pitcairn PAA-1 auto giro. He speaks slowly and in a rather posh American voice about the working of the aircraft. Closer shot of the man as he uses a model of an "ordinary airplane" to illustrate how the auto giro is different. C/U of the model in his hands as he speaks of air pressure and how this keeps the plane in the air. C/U of the blades of the auto giro - miniature airplane wings. The man explains how the blades work automatically. The man then picks up a model of an auto giro and describes how the propeller provides for...

Why is the AutoGyro Cavalon accident rate so high in the USA?
With an accident rate that I see as 23% - one reason is a sales drive, some bold claims, light regulation and pilot and instructor inexperience.

"The development of air travel depends almost entirely on safety. One contribution to safety is the auto giro 'plane, and although many of us have seen one, we believe this to be the first explanation of the machine's working." M/S of a man standing beside a Pitcairn PAA-1 auto giro. He speaks slowly and in a rather posh American voice about the working of the aircraft. Closer shot of the man as he uses a model of an "ordinary airplane" to illustrate how the auto giro is different. C/U of the model in his hands as he speaks of air pressure and how this keeps the plane in the air. C/U of the blades of the auto giro - miniature airplane wings. The man explains how the blades work automatically. The man then picks up a model of an auto giro and describes how the propeller provides forward motion.
The explanation continues. C/U of the man who says: "So much for theories and models. Let's see something of what the autogiro can accomplish in the air." L/S of the auto giro starting up and the rotors and propeller moving. As the auto giro makes more noise the narrator is drowned out. Low angle of the aircraft taking off then air-to-air shots of the vehicle in flight. "A new sport for airmen" reads an intertitle. Strange shot of an auto giro following race horses down a track. The aircraft lifts and lowers as if it was jumping the fences just like the horses. "Loafing along at eight miles an hour!" A cyclist is seen below the auto giro. The cyclist can travel faster than the aircraft. "They can land on the proverbial sixpence and linger aloft indefinitely in a 20 mile breeze!" Low angle shot of the auto giro flying overhead then landing. We see it take off again. The aircraft hovers above a tower. Various shots of the 'plane. "Like a dead stick landing - (watch the propeller)." Low angle shot of the craft landing then taxiing along the runway and taking off again.
Note: a very long and thorough explanation of how the autogiro works. Note alternative spelling - autogyro and alternative name gyroplane. This is last story on reel - no end titles.

Today we are checking out the Cavalon gyroplane from Autogyro USA. I got a chance to speak to one of the pilots at the US sport aviation expo this past month. Gyroplanes are very intriguing, a futuristic aircraft to say the least. But according to Bob, this types of aircraft have actually been flying since the bringing of aviation history.
Gyroplanes or gyrocopters are more popular in Europe than they are in the US, and AutoGyro USA is trying to change that. This aircraft is more for the pilot who just wants to have fun flying. It has amazing short takeoff and landing capabilities especially on a windy day. Like the day of this interview where winds were gusting over 25 mph. A gyroplane like the Cavalon would take off nicely in about 10 ft.
The aircraft is a 2 seater, powered by a Rotax 912, 914 or 915 engine. Depending on your power output, expect to see climb out rates of 1200 ft/min. The aircraft shown in this video is in the experimental category. As per pricing, you’re looking at about $125,000 and up.
