Nisus Shows Its New High Performance Gyrocopter

Gyrocopters are huge in Europe; a lot less so in the U.S. A Slovakian company is trying to make a footprint here with its new Nisus gyrocopter. The aircraft made its debut at Sun 'n Fun 2023 and AVweb took a look in this short show video.

Would have been nice to here performance numbers. Useful load, max speed at sea level, cruise speed at sea level, fuel burn for those speeds, etc

@hogey74 Жыл бұрын

Can't say specifically but with gyros I presume Cub speeds on higher fuel burns but with great climb rates and low speed handling.

@electricalmayhem Жыл бұрын

@@hogey74 You are probably right, the website says max speed 105 Kt, but I'm assuming that's VNE. Video snippets I found were all 93-97 km/h so about 50 kt.

@hogey74 Жыл бұрын

@@electricalmayhem yeah right. They're a big step up from those flying lawn chairs on a stick but there seems to be a practical limit to economical speed...

Will be similar to magni 24 or cavalon..with 915is about 70 to 80 knots

I flew in a Gyro that did way better than that. Top speed was 150mph. Sustained. Woukd not go faster cause of being Governered for F AA rules of Classification. But at 75%-80% throttle, it flew at 115kts. at 4gal. an hour fuel rate burn with up to 600 mi. Dist. On one tank. So you tell me? I still want to by that Rigg and be Flyin' all over the Place at a Cost of $12-$15 bucks an Hour. So it Can fly affordable too.

Saw this at Sun 'n Fun - the engineering and fit and finish are exceptional! One thing I wonder about, though - looks like those long sharp angles in the canopy would cause a lot of optical distortion vs a smoothly curved canopy like most copters and planes have.

@saml7610 Жыл бұрын

Yeah my buddy built his for $14k not including labor costs. This isn't a kit, so somewhere around $60-70k is reasonable. $160k is just absurd.

If I didn't know better I'd say they were using server rails for the canopy.

These things have grown on me since Europeans with a clear fondness for staying alive have taken them beyond the contraption stage. As with the rest of GA I do think they're crying out for a true, full envelope recovery system however.

Didn’t you tell us in a previous video they’re called “gyroplanes” not “gyrocopters” (even though they’re rotary wing and legally more of a copter than a plane)?

@ImpendingJoker Жыл бұрын

There are interchangeable. I am a former US Army helicopter mechanic and former Part 147 instructor that worked on civilian helicopters as well. We used to say helicopter or airplane all the time to refer to the aircraft. It's the same reason why some people call asphalt "Tarmac" because that was the original brand name for the material. Like calling another citrus based powered drink, "Tang" even if it's not real Tang.

Gyrocopter is a trademarked term, so many refer to them as gyroplanes.

@hansbumgarth7943 för 7 dagar sedan Witam ponownie! Mam kilka pytań do Was, którzy produkujecie najlepsze wiatrakowce na świecie! Pytanie 1. Czy mogę go mieć z miejscem dla 4 pasażerów + pilota? Pytanie 2. Czy mogę założyć pontony, wylądować na wodzie i wystartować? Pytanie 3. Ile czasu zajmuje Ci wyprodukowanie tego z taką samą doskonałą wydajnością? Pytanie 4. Czy możesz mi powiedzieć, ile to będzie mnie kosztować przy zakupie, wraz z tym wszystkim, jestem pewien? Pytanie 5. wiatrakowiec. Jeśli zaczyna się od skoku w powietrze, jak widziałem inne żyroskopy, może to zrobić, ten może zrobić to trzy =. Czy zrobiłbyś to z tym, czy jest to trudne? Co myślisz? Pytanie 6. Dochodzimy więc do tego, ile by mnie to wszystko kosztowało? Chcesz pokonać go na dłuższym dystansie, z większym czołgiem. Mogę więc polecieć daleko, z 4 pasażerami + pilot i tak daleko mogę polecieć na czołgu. Czy mogę zatankować zwykłe paliwo na zwykłej stacji benzynowej? Czy jest to 95 oktan, czy powinno to być inne paliwo do silników odrzutowych? Mam nadzieję, że możesz odpowiedzieć na wszystkie moje pytania, jako jedno do wszystkich 6.
