This flying object may resemble a helicopter but do not be deceived, as it is actually an autogyro or simply a gyroplane. These flying objects employ an unpowered rotor that rotates freely in autorotation to generate lift. Here’s how it operates: the rotor spins autonomously due to the airflow passing through it from underneath. The downward component of the rotor’s overall aerodynamic reaction provides lift to the vehicle, enabling it to stay aloft. However, a separate propeller positioned in a puller configuration supplies forward thrust. Unlike a helicopter, which propels its rotor blades through the air by drawing air from above, an autogyro’s rotor blade generates lift in a similar manner to that of a glider’s wing. It does so by altering the angle of the air as it moves upward and backward in relation to the rotor blade. If you’ve ever experienced gliding, you already know how exhilarating and enjoyable flying can be. The autogyro offers a comparable experience but with some modifications and additional capabilities such as takeoff and landing. So if you’re considering indulging in the excitement of flying, here are the top 10 autogyros worth considering.

Greetings
I am just wondering, how come you have not included the Titanium Auto Gyro ‘TAG’ in your lineup.
It is State of the Art in Terms of Manufacturing materials utilising Titanium and Carbon Fiber with a really spacious cockpit and plenty packing space … 😎
All this with really clean design lines makes it handle and fly like a dream with impressive performance data… 😎
Need some comments on the safety of these vehicles. Believe they are no worse than other winged aircraft but are more likely to result in death in a crash if rotor failure
I (a fixed-wing pilot) flew an AutoGyro Cavalon on an introductory flight at the dealer at the Petaluma, California, airport. In the air, it flew much like a "normal" fixed-wing plane. The experienced Cavalon pilot took the controls for a few minutes to show me how it could be flown safely very close to the terrain. During thaat time, I grabbed my phone and shot a very short video (with fingers blocking the lens). It's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOwjM-7B2-k
Sportcopter would fly circles around the rest of these models
The "second" propeller is in a pusher configuration if I am not mistaken 🤔
Show
Pusher configuration by the looks of it.
TOP TEN IS BULLSHIT WHERE'S THE ARGON 916SI GYROCOPTER? THAT DEATS ..THREE FLIES AT 130 MPH, THESE ARE JUST WEAK LITTLE TOYS TALK ABOUT CKICK BAIT FROM A LIMEY TOO.
It’s a PUSHER, not a puller.
Good 👍 list 👌 brah
Just don't go up in windy weather or you will leave a hole in the ground.
