The gyrocopter is really cool, but will they sell me one of those cursor things that zap passengers with the green ray gun? One of those would really be useful for deleting the middle seat passenger in economy class.

As someone who wants to fly one day, and possibly own a gyro, this was indeed a reality check. no matter how much "time" I have in my simulators and games, none of that would have helped me as much as your video has. I still wish to learn and build one of these machines to fly, but I'll do so with this stark reminder to fly safe.

You'll be fine if you just take your time and fly "normally" i.e. no messing around. Always err on the side of caution and seek the advice of your local instructor. Remember the first 1000hrs are the hardest and you only tend to get to crash an aircraft once in your lifetime!

I lost a friend to a gyrocopter accident ten years ago.. I begged him to sell it. They found his body a half mile short of the airport runway. Neverrr heard the cause. Did you know that Igor Benson was an ordained minister? No doubt so that he could give last rites with his machines.

I worked on Bensens brothers house in Raleigh NC and they had the original gyro copter in their yard. Had lots of fun talking with his nephew Mark about the machine which was powered by a snowmobile engine.

Check out the Niki Calithea, far better choice. No coffin top canopy, two doors yet, fantastic vision all around. Equal or better performances.
@gyrocopterflyingclub6148 Ай бұрын
The issue for me with this aircraft [Niki] - and I've physically been to the factory - is the support. It is a relatively tiny operation and personally I don't think there is really a big enough network to give credibility to a statement that suggests it is "a far better choice".

I’ve learned from pilots, doctors, engineers that they think they are NEVER wrong. They also feel untouchable because they are stimulated by what they do each day and feel not like the rest of humanity. Only upon their deaths do they learn reality and while alive, they listen to no one and lack empathy for those they crush in their decision-making.
@user-xw9if1nu8q Ай бұрын
I believe that the profusion of digital flying aids focuses the pilots eyes inside the cockpit and not outside on the rotor characteristics. Its the rotor that keeps you in the air. Gyrocopters were always meant to be simple not loaded with multiple instrumentation.

When you say 'unloading the rotors', could I translate that as a kind-of 'wing stall"?
@gyrocopterflyingclub6148 2 ай бұрын
Hi and no. So rotors in autorotation do so because of airflow through the blade and because of the position of the aerodynamic force the rotor continues to rotate. Therefore "unloading the rotors" to mean a g value less than 1, means airflow is taken away.

Why hasn't it occurred to the Gyro pilots that the major safety deficiency of the aircraft is it's natural stability? In other words, pilots are assuming a safe aircraft is much safer than it actually is. In other words...... A grotesque and unreasonable overconfidence...... In other words....Pilot fuck up.
@markthomasson5077 2 ай бұрын
Always been intrigued by gyroplanes, though have no experience of flying. So trust you don’t mind my question. Why no side by side two rotor configuration? Any advantages? I see with one clockwise one anti-clockwise, you have balance, and low rotor speeds not an issue.
@gyrocopterflyingclub6148 2 ай бұрын
Hey mark - no problems at all with the questions. So in helicopters the two rotor clock-wise / anti clockwise configuration was to deal with the torque produced and of course in the tandem rotor configuration one rotor cancel the torque of the other when the rotors are powered. However gyroplanes have no power to the rotor so the problem doesn't exist so no solution needs to be found. The first helicopter with this tandem relationship was the Focke FW61 - the worlds first practical helicopter. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focke-Wulf_Fw_61

Watching some of the old De Cierva tractor configuration gyros, they seemed to have a very short / slow take off. Was this really the case.
@gyrocopterflyingclub6148 3 ай бұрын
Hey Mark - Yeah I think they likely were compared to the modern sport types and that is because they are much bigger entities in that the motor / prop would have generated more thrust and the rotors much bigger and with 3 blades - and that in combination would have been useful to that. You might also factor in that much of the footage of the old aircraft would have been with professional pilots and in part for the camera.

"I like your preflight check illustration of the new T-600x craft. That is how an introduction should be. I feel? All small clinics or private medical practice facilities should have one of these(Gyro-Aircraft) stationed in their parking lot for emergency purposes. The company manufactures need to construct a larger flex-glass capsule fuselage to hold: a standard size stretcher, two occupants(A doctor with a med assistance personnel.) and a Pilot(Or multi-task med personnel)to carryout Med emergencies. Please note: Gyro must include a ballistic parachute deployment system referenced from Curti Industries; To avoid auto-rotation practices during engine failure for none experienced operators, and the safety of the patient during flight. Personally? I feel; This craft can save many lives. It moves and lifts? Quickly! And? That is what a patient needs most; Efficient transport. Meaning: No talk? No wait! Just simply?.. We have the ride ready, Let's go." 👍 ~I strongly support your development. It is needed, I know it could save many lives.~ Sincerely: A.

Hi, thank you for this history on gyroplanes. I wonder why there's not a gyroplane company out there that's focusing on engineering more advanced tractor style gyros for safer, faster flying? Again, thanks for the info.

Glad you enjoy them and I apologies for the poor production! In terms of new aircraft the issue really is regulation cripples the efforts - in the UK you can see that actually we only have gyroplanes from 2 manufacturers for the last 20 years!

Back in the 1960s there was a line a firearms developed in the US called _"GYROJET."_ These fired one-piece 'mini-rockets', instead of bullets contained in separate cartridges. The system never worked well, and it faded from the market.
