The main rotor is spun up by a smaller motor called a pre-rotator. This gets the main rotor spinning at a RPM where it can generate lift. As the gyro lifts up, the pre-rotator is disengaged and rotor starts to slow down, so the pusher engine is given more throttle to get the gyro moving forward. This forward motion pushes the main rotor enough to replace the lost RPM and the gyro continues rising. Not all gyros can do this kind of zero-distance takeoff roll, but many can.

AWESOME!!! Congrats to Jay and the team!!! I've kept my eye on this project for 7 years!!! I've gotta get one if these!!!

The designs have been improved with more actual wing area. They have been able to reduce the drag from the rotor and are now able to achieve much higher plane speeds as a result. Take a look, they look great and I am sure they may have a great affect on the aviation industry. People like me, probably never be able to fly in one.

The "ears" are full of lead or depleted uranium to add mass in order give the rotating blades enough energy for lift off. The weight also allows the blades to stay straight in high speed flight with low rotor rpm.

Now I visited the page of the manufacturer and understood that this is an autogyro, capable of transferring the driving force between the propeller and the rotor, allowing vertical takeoff Unlike a conventional autogyro. I want one of these!

Esse é bom, não necessita de pista longa, pode decolar como um helicóptero. show...

Very impressive! Exceptional L/D considering the aircraft type! (Sailplane rated here).

i was looking a gyrocopters and thought they were cool then i found this thing and it's badass. subscribed

Been following you guys for awhile, so much potential.

I'll take one.

Are therein production, it's a fantastic performing aircraft

Nice machine but it seems every time it lands short the whole tail assembly looks like it wants to twist off of the rest of the airframe.

imprecionante nave segura lo mas que aconsejo javier

SUPER GOOD

Прямо с места стартанул👏👏👏👍👍👍

It a great aircraft !! The pilot Need a more soft landing

Please tell me why the initial lift off is so sudden, surely it should be more progressive ?

It is an autogyro.

good job !

Does anyone know how much these planes go for??

When and where can I get one????

It's a turboprop gyrocopter?

Great to see this bird up-and-flying with jump-takeoff and the one near vertical landing . My deposit check is in the mail! Suggest a pro cameraman for Phase II test flights. Gyro Jerry.

I wonder what differs from an autogyro ?

OK !

Предел возможного - HAWK4 ?

Где твои крылья , которые нравились мне ?Внатуре , где крылья ?

It's pretty noisy.

Супер .

Класс!!!

Автожир это круто

IT'S FAR TOO BIG!!! THE HAWK 4 IS BETTER, ALSO HAS 4 SEATS AND IS SMALLER AND LOOKS BETTER. IT HAS A MORE TRADITIONAL ROTOR (CHEAPER) AND TAKES OFF VERTICALLY JUST AS WELL.

Afrika için ihtiyaçim var...

This is NOT new tech..... maybe looks scifi but not new !!!

This aircraft has a bad habit of pratfall during landing. Is likely to damage the aircraft. There is a need to review the design. I hope to be reborn in a good aircraft. この機体は着陸時に尻餅をつく悪い癖を持っている。機体を破損する可能性がある。設計を見直す必要がある。良い機体に生まれ変わることを願っている。

It is in vain, I can't go out🤔
